Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tasksel
I was trying to install a LAMP server on my Ubuntu Gutsy 64bit using tasksel.
I have launched the command tasksel from a root shell and the tasksel menu
appears. Two lines where already checked, Ubuntu desktop and Print server. I
have checked LAMP server and then press OK.
541 packages has been removed without prompting any confirmation dialog after
this operation. I think that it have removed all the ubuntu-desktop and print
server dependencies and also other graphical packages, maybe restoring a
default server installation?
The only error that tasksel have printed during the operation was:
"Use o uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/tasksel
line 349"
In order to restore the system I have to set up the network from scratch
manually with the shell and doing an "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop".
This operation restored only 432 packages. In order to restore the other
109 packages I have to make a diff from the list of packages removed and
after reinstalled from dpkg.log.
I hope that at least a confirmation dialog will be implemented in order
to avoid these problems!
