Hi Norbert, This happens because ubuntu-advantage-tools is a package dependency of the ubuntu-minimal metapackage. Although it is possible to change that from a Depends to a Recommends, we will need to have a broader discussion about it.
I suggest sending the request into this mailing list to see the broader opinion of the Ubuntu developers: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel Another thing we must take into consideration is that we need to also understand how update-manager is depending on ubuntu-advantage-tools and if we could also change the dependency there to Recommends. But that can be also better discussed in the mailing list. ** Changed in: ubuntu-advantage-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1950692 Title: Ubuntu advantage tools should be removable without breakage of the core system functionality To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-advantage-tools/+bug/1950692/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
