Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
Ubuntu 11.4. Synaptic, preparing to remove ntpdate, tells that it will remove Ubuntu-minimal too.
This really doesn't seems smart to do (;-))
Its not possible to remove the check-mark for/un-mark Ubuntu-minimal.
(The reason, I want to remove ntpdate, is, that it says, under ntp, that ntpdate is not necessary.)

Ubuntu-minimal is a meta-package, consisting of a list of packages required for a minimal ubuntu install, and if you remove any of these, ubuntu-minimal will also be removed. So ntpdate is required (the computer will work without it, however you might experience some unexpected behavior, e.g. upgrading to the next release might fail), the description says that it's optional only if the ntp package is installed. wiki.ubuntu. com/BugSquad
