Dear Sean! I did installation as your wrote in comment 14. I started with latest mini.iso from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ . Then selected *Xubuntu desktop* in tasksel. Here I got exactly the same result as your wrote. So no problem here. Such system has 1584 packages.
--- But if install only base system from mini.iso and then run `sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop` I get a lot stuff (including `gnome-control-center`) - so it is bad variant. So there is something wrong with handling of `APT::Install-Recommends` and/or `APT::Install-Suggests` in APT regarding `xubuntu-desktop` meta-package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754872 Title: gnome-control-center is unusable on xubuntu-desktop, but called from Gear (About this Computer, System Settings) icon, Text Entry Settings, clock (Time & Date Settings) Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu: New Status in xubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1.
