Is there any problem with this approach? Yes, it wouldn't work for Ubuntu. We don't maintain our task data by hand like this; we maintain it automatically using the output of germinate, which expands out dependencies very carefully taking a number of things into account. For example, packages that are explicitly part of inner seeds such as the base system are installed preferentially. If you only put the root packages in the task, then you would rely on tasksel expanding out dependencies in the correct way. It wouldn't just be able to feed them to apt as some of these situations are very complex, especially when virtual packages are involved and we have to choose which Provides to pick, and apt's dependency resolver doesn't always get these right (where right is defined as matching the current behaviour since we're pretty happy with the current output) without help. Task expansion would no longer be the role of a single program (germinate) but instead would be spread across several wobbly piles of software; the net result would be that Ubuntu's tasks would become more fragile and harder for us to maintain, for no added value to users.

[Bug 150252] Re: [master] tasksel removes all Ubuntu-desktop dependencies without confirmation dialog
** Description changed: - Binary package hint: tasksel + When removing tasks, tasksel simply removes all packages listed for that + task. This fails badly in some cases because many tasks have substantial + overlap, so removing one task can inadvertently take out others. This is + compounded because sometimes tasksel believes that a task is to be + removed when it isn't, particularly when tasks share key packages. - I was trying to install a LAMP server on my Ubuntu Gutsy 64bit using tasksel. - I have launched the command tasksel from a root shell and the tasksel menu appears. Two lines where already checked, Ubuntu desktop and Print server. I have checked LAMP server and then press OK. + I fixed this in tasksel 2.73ubuntu17 in Jaunty, with a further + performance optimisation in 2.73ubuntu18. I'm proposing this pair of + changes as stable updates. Here are the changes made in Jaunty: - 541 packages has been removed without prompting any confirmation dialog - after this operation. I think that it have removed all the ubuntu- - desktop and print server dependencies and also other graphical packages, - maybe restoring a default server installation? + http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/tasksel/ubuntu/revision/1402 + http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/tasksel/ubuntu/revision/1406 - The only error that tasksel have printed during the operation was: - Use o uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/tasksel line 349 + Here are the changes for hardy-proposed and intrepid-proposed. Note that + I'm fixing bug 236257 at the same time because it contributes to this + problem: the clashing descriptions can make tasksel incorrectly believe + that one or the other task is to be removed. - In order to restore the system I have to set up the network from scratch - manually with the shell and doing an apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. - This operation restored only 432 packages. In order to restore the other - 109 packages I have to make a diff from the list of packages removed and - after reinstalled from dpkg.log. + http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/tasksel/hardy- + proposed/revision/1354?compare_revid=1349 - I hope that at least a confirmation dialog will be implemented in order - to avoid these problems! + http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/tasksel/intrepid- + proposed/revision/1388?compare_revid=1383 + + TEST CASE: On Hardy, an easy way to verify this is to install the mail- + server and print-server tasks, and then use 'sudo tasksel -t' to test + removal of just one of those tasks; the openssl package is common to + both, so if this bug is present then it will be removed even if you only + remove one of mail-server or print-server. On Intrepid, you can conduct + the same test by installing the openssh-server and virt-host tasks; the + openssh-server package is common to both. I would recommend also + conducting a test similar to that in the original report, namely on a + system with the ubuntu-desktop task installed; try installing and + removing tasks with 'sudo tasksel -t' and make sure that the commands + produced are reasonable representations of what you asked for. + + I can't think of a great deal in the way of regression potential outside + the scope of things that will be tested as part of verifying this + update. tasksel is not all that widely used outside initial + installation. -- [master] tasksel removes all Ubuntu-desktop dependencies without confirmation dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

this bug was not fixed soon enough to save me just now...
