@Michael: OK, thank you for that work. Upgraded feisty now and tested fixup.py and apt-get:
(1) Uninstalled ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop (to get situation similar to edgy with OpenOffice 2.1) Run fixup.py Checked autoremove Nothing did change (see below) (2) Installed ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop Run fixup.py Uninstalled ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop Checked autoremove Seems OK now :) (3) Reinstalled some other packages that apt-get wants to autoremove even when ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop are installed Checked autoremove Seems OK now too :) Some Ideas about this: Maybe posibility to give explicite [meta-]packages to fixup.py would be good in situation (1) ? Otherwise someone may need to break his installation by installing gone meta-packages or do a reinstall on all depending packages manually which is not really easy to do. Additionaly fixup.py could maybe give some warning in case no desktop meta package is installed ? -- apt wants to autoremove packages i explicitly installed https://launchpad.net/bugs/86921 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
