Public bug reported: ubuntu-minimal depends on sysvinit, which upstart replaces without an appropriate Provides: header.
That makes ubuntu-minimal uninstallable, which (if one blindly removes it) will cause all the packages it has dragged in during upgrades to be removed (if using aptitude), which is not the intended result. ;-) ** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- needs Provides: sysvinit https://launchpad.net/bugs/58731 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
