After removing edubuntu-desktop, edubuntu logo still displayed in the splash screen

[Silviu Bojica]

1. ubuntu-desktop installed initialy on the system
2. sudo aptitude install edubuntu-desktop . It changes the initial splash screen (which shows the status of loading modules, etc.)
3. After removing edubuntu (sudo aptitude remove edubuntu-desktop), edubuntu logo is still displayed in the splash screen.

Corect behaviour: it should revert to ubuntu logo.

thats expected, the usplash graphics are in {edu,ku,u}buntu-artwork-usplash which is a dependency of edubuntu-artwork (which in turn is a dependency of edubuntu-desktop)
apparently aptitude didnt remove all dependencys, thats not a bug in edubuntu-meta, but rather one in aptitude

[Silviu Bojica (bojicas)]

As suggested, I have changed the package (source & binary) to aptitude.

rejected as per ogra's explanation, ball is now in aptitude's hands

Oliver,

Don't forget that usplash-artwork.so is also in the initramfs. Does
uninstalling ubuntu-artwork trigger a rebuild of the initramfs?

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

(Removing ubuntu-artwork does not trigger a rebuild of the initramfs.)

[Simone Cianfriglia (crimer)]

It's normal that edubuntu-artwork does not trigger update-initramfs, it has to be done from removal the dependency edubuntu-artwork-usplash.

I compared usplash-theme-ubuntu.postrm and edubuntu-artwork-usplash.prerm (they have to do the same) but I see a great difference: the first calls 'update-initramfs -u',- the second not; it only calls update-alternatives, thus not updating the initial ramdisk.

I suggest to change edubuntu-artwork-usplash.prerm with the patch attached to this comment, if it is what needed....

Thank you for your bug report, however;

 * Marking as invalid in aptitude, aptitude technically does exactly what it is supposed to do.
 * Marking as wontfix in edubuntu-desktop, removing a meta-package should not remove all its dependencies.

To remove artwork after installation, the best way to do so is to remove the relevant artwork packages (edubuntu-artwork, edubuntu-wallpapers, edubuntu-plymouth-theme, etc)
