Public bug reported:
Hi
After I found out that python3-apport is latching onto python3 and runs
even on the python scripts I write, I tried to uninstall the
python3-apport package. That resulted in:
apt-get --purge remove python3-apport
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
apport-symptoms gir1.2-wnck-3.0 libwhoopsie-preferences0 libxatracker2
libxvmc1 python3-problem-report python3-systemd whoopsie-preferences x11-apps
x11-session-utils
xinit xserver-xorg-legacy xserver-xorg-video-all xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-video-intel
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau xserver-xorg-video-qxl xserver-xorg-video-radeon
xserver-xorg-video-vesa xserver-xorg-video-vmware
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
apport* apport-gtk* python3-apport* xorg* xserver-xorg* xubuntu-core*
xubuntu-desktop*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 7 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 2 136 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
From what I can see xserver-xorg is set to directly depend on
python3-apport. Why is this needed? If one don't want this obtrusive
package, why should that prevent xserver-xorg to function?
Python3-apport should at most be recommended because the only package of
those listed above is the that requires apport which in turn requires
python3-apport is xubuntu-desktop. In the description of xubuntu-desktop
it is written:
Description: Xubuntu desktop system
This package depends on all of the packages in the Xubuntu desktop system
.
It is safe to remove this package if some of the desktop system packages are
not desired.
I guess the same goes for ubuntu-desktop (or what name the equivelent
package has).
So please change this dependency so it is possible to remove
python3-apport for those of us that can't have such packages hooked into
python.
