Cheers Steve. Nope, -proposed is not enabled. Yes, it happened - it was the result of an explicit autoremove on my part though after I had dist-upgraded to current focal-updates. I should have noticed that this was happening and stopped it, granted. :)
Attached is the snippet of apt's term.log corresponding to the autoremove run. It crapped out at the end as usual because I have a tiny /boot; not included but mentioning because it might mean the log is truncated a bit. Now, this system has been through several Ubuntu development cycles. It's likely to be unclean. So I don't mind if the priority is low but making use of this feature of apt feels sensible to me, although admittedly there's a question about where we would stop if we started to do it. ** Attachment added: "shim" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1898729/+attachment/5418422/+files/shim -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1898729 Title: shim can end up being removed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1898729/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
