Comment 12 for bug 1682305

This issue just wasted about half an hour of my time, as it broke a docker build. I don't understand why a package would be removed from this version of Ubuntu after it has been released. It is particularly inappropriate because this is an LTS version! Imagine if a desktop user suddenly found their OS didn't work any more after installing updates. That surely wouldn't be allowed. Why is it being allowed here? I agree with the above commenters; this is a regression, and should have waited for the next release.
