Public bug reported: alacritty is unintentionally included in Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.04 LTS even though the Ubuntu Cinnamon metapackages do not recommend or depend on it.
I'm filing the bug here even though ubuntucinnamon-meta won't need to be updated, just the seed, because there is nowhere else to report bugs about seeds. A few things that could be tried: - move the gnome-terminal dependency to a higher location in the seed - try adding !alacritty to the seed. ! usually does not make any difference but maybe it would here? You probably want to get this working in oracular before trying to backport whatever is successful to the noble seed. Unfortunately, because there is nothing depending on alacritty, I do not believe it is possible for alacritty to be automatically safely removed from people's computers who install Ubuntu Cinnamon using Ubuntu 23.10 or the original 24.04 LTS, but it can be excluded from the 24.04.1 LTS ISO that will be published a few months from now. Additional info about how it got seeded and if it is working ------------------------------------------------------------ https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/germinate-output/ubuntucinnamon.noble/ https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cdimage/+livefs/ubuntu/noble/ubuntucinnamon/ https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntucinnamon/daily-live/current/ (especially the manifest file) ** Affects: ubuntucinnamon-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Triaged ** Tags: noble -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Cinnamon Developers, which is subscribed to ubuntucinnamon-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064166 Title: Exclude alacritty from Ubuntu Cinnamon ISOs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntucinnamon-meta/+bug/2064166/+subscriptions -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
