Binary package hint: aptitude
Aptitude version 0.4.9 in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is installing always the recommended packages even when it is told not to do so. It is also not uninstalling them when it is told to do so. Suggested packages are not affected.
There is already a similar bug filed in Debian (bug #458189), which is even already patched in aptitude version 0.4.11. Here the reference for more details:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=458189
This bug is hindering setting up a leaner version of Ubuntu by the method of uninstalling all only recommended (= not necessarily wanted) packages. It also installs significantly more packages than necessary leading to unnecessarily bigger Ubuntu installations wasting space on small systems and causing additionnally more load to the download servers.
Considering the criticism that 'the other operating system' has got for being too fat, this bug is worth patching in an LTS verison.
Thanks for good work over the years! |

Binary package hint: aptitude
Aptitude version 0.4.9 in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (amd64) does not uninstall recommended packages automatically when it is told to do so (e.g. Preferences: 'Install recommended packages automatically' not checked; 'Remove unused packages automatically' checked). Suggested packages are not affected. Recommended packages are not automatically installed if not asked for.
How to reproduce: Uncheck in the preferences 'Install recommended packages automatically' and check 'Remove unused packages automatically'. Then mark one of the packages that e.g. ubuntu-standard recommends and no other package depends on like e.g. appamor-utils as automatically installed. It should be marked as to be removed automatically, but does not.

This bug is hindering setting up a leaner version of Ubuntu on older systems by the method of uninstalling all only recommended (= not necessarily wanted) packages.
Considering the criticism that 'the other operating system' has got for being too fat, this bug is worth be removed from an LTS verison.

Thank you for taking time to report this bug. This seems fixed in Debian since 15.03.2008 so it should already be fixed in Ubuntu. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance. |
