Plymouth is not an optional part of your system, we do not support you removing it.
Note that your bug is also invalid; those packages are not removed, they are merely suggested for automatic removal. You don't need to run "apt- get autoremove" and can continue with them installed and a functioning system without Plymouth. This is obviously not a supported Ubuntu system, but that's your call ;-) ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- Plymouth Removes "Vital" Packages When Removed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569327 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
