As discussed in #ubuntu-desktop, this is intentional. We have been trying to get python2 out of the default install for years.
Besides ibus-sunpinyin, cifs-utils also ends up pulling python-samba (and python2). None of those packages are needed for most people after install and so are removed at the end of the install process. But we do want them in the live environment for now. If you find a package that doesn't work without python2 installed and doesn't depend on python2, please file a bug against that package. LP: #1721394 is an example of a bug like that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1721812 Title: Python2 removed during install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1721812/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
