2007-04-16 09:45:53 Martin Pitt syslog-ng: statusexplanation This is not the fault of syslog-ng.

2007-04-16 09:48:39 Martin Pitt ubuntu-meta: statusexplanation The point of ubuntu-desktop (and the like) is precisely to assert a default set of packages which we tested and are officially supported. Thus, ubuntu-minimal is *meant* to be removed if you replace one of its dependencies with an alternative. If you think that syslog-ng would serve as a better default, this should become a proper specification. Incidentally, there already is one: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/syslog-improvements, so if you are interested it, please feel invited to subscribe to it and push forward it. Thank you!

2007-04-16 16:20:15 Martin Pitt syslog-ng: statusexplanation This is not the fault of syslog-ng. I see what you mean. An upgrade could examine the dependency differences between the old and new ubuntu-meta packages and do those changes even if they are not installed any more. Reopening as a wishlist bug against update-manager.

Reopening as a wishlist bug against update-manager. I close the update-manager task, IMHO its the wrong place to fix this problem.
