Thanks for your report.

It seems to match the list of package to remove for a minimal installation and I cannot reproduce with a normal installation.

Can you please confirm that you did a minimal installation? If so which package do you think should be kept on a minimal installation?

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

Sorry, according telemetry I did a MINIMAL intallation:

Changed to invalid, problem comes from my error.
