** Description changed: On Impish and later, removing unattended-upgrades also removes ubuntu- server-minimal due to ubuntu-server-minimal depending on unattended- upgrades $ sudo apt remove unattended-upgrades ... The following packages will be REMOVED: - ubuntu-server-minimal unattended-upgrades + ubuntu-server-minimal unattended-upgrades 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded. This behaviour has changed since ubuntu-meta 1.471 [1] when the ubuntu- server-minimal metapackage was introduced, declaring unattended-upgrades as Depends. [1] https://launchpadlibrarian.net/550345392/ubuntu- meta_1.470_1.471.diff.gz On Focal, there was no such behaviour on a fresh ubuntu-server install: $ sudo apt remove unattended-upgrades ... The following packages will be REMOVED: - unattended-upgrades + unattended-upgrades 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 9 not upgraded. Removing unattended-upgrades is quite popular amongst our users, and they should be allowed to remove the package without removing the ubuntu-server-minimal metapackage. Looking at the source package for ubuntu-meta, unattended-upgrades is only Depends for ubuntu-server-minimal, maybe we should simply remove - it? + it, or instead, change to recommends? $ grep -Rin "unattended-upgrades" . ./server-minimal-armhf:23:unattended-upgrades ./server-minimal-riscv64:23:unattended-upgrades ./server-minimal-arm64:23:unattended-upgrades ./server-minimal-ppc64el:23:unattended-upgrades ./server-minimal-s390x:24:unattended-upgrades ./server-minimal-amd64:23:unattended-upgrades $ sudo apt rdepends unattended-upgrades unattended-upgrades Reverse Depends: - Recommends: python3-software-properties - Recommends: ubuntu-mate-desktop - Recommends: ubuntu-mate-core - Depends: freedombox - Recommends: fbx-all - Depends: ubuntu-server-minimal + Recommends: python3-software-properties + Recommends: ubuntu-mate-desktop + Recommends: ubuntu-mate-core + Depends: freedombox + Recommends: fbx-all + Depends: ubuntu-server-minimal
