So what happens in that ubiquity takes the list of packages to remove (minimal-remove) from the seed, and marks them for removal; but does not remove any packages no longer needed by those. Hence, the autoremovals are correct - these packages are no longer needed.
There is a further complication, as some of the packages have maintainer scripts: The blacklist only works for packages without maintainer scripts, hence we can't simply extend the blacklist with these packages. The reason for that is simple: We avoid copying the files of these packages. Possibly we should run apt-get autopurge after copying it all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798992 Title: Fresh minimal desktop installation has packages pending autoremoval, pending updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1798992/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
