Updates will be fine, the upgrade process expects (as far a I know) there to be a desktop metapackage to use as a reference so may be needed when maverick comes out. Otherwise its absolutely fine.
i personally instal ubuntu-restricted extras then remove it as well as the stupid flash plugin it gives to then install 64bit flash. If i keep the package installed it will repull in 32bit flash and all the other garbage I do not want. I's a touch of control :) Peace -Andy On Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 11:15 AM, Phillip Whiteside <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > can you confirm that doing so will not, as has been reported as a bug cause > any issues with updates / upgrading? > > Thabks, > > Phill. > > > On Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 8:15 AM, Andrew Woodhead < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> As Jaeic says, removing metapackages is harmless, they are hollow and >> empty and o not remove the packages they install so are fine to remove, this >> is the same with any metapackage >> >> >> On Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 12:42 AM, Phillip Whiteside <[email protected]>wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> I guess this is more a question for Juliene, but one of things that has >>> been raised a few times on IRC is why lubuntu *insists *on having all >>> the packages that it does, for example you cannot remove Mplayer to free >>> room up and put an alternative on, nor xfburn if you wish brasserro.
