Bug Description

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Disco Dingo (development branch)
Release: 19.04
Codename: disco

Long description:
I installed Xubuntu on an VM using LVM. Download updates while installing was unchecked in one try, checked in the next try. Also checked and unchecked Download third party drives. No effect. After reboot, Follow these steps to recreate:

1. close update manager
2. open terminal.
3. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
4. During upgrade it will suggest apt autoremove to get automatically instlled packages that are not neeed.
5. sudo apt autoremove.
6. type y

What happens:
lvm2 and dependencies are removed. While this does not break the install fully, re-installation throws errors. And all restarts from then on, will give system errors, but still work. Updates also work.

I would expect apt not to recommend removing lvm tools while running from an LV.
marking the lvm2 package as manually installed(used apt install lvm2) prevents the message and keeps it out of autoremove.

This did not happen with standard ubuntu. Only Xubuntu
