[Bug 290024] Re: Cruft Remover removed most of the installed packages
This bug was fixed in the package system-cleaner - 1.10.4-0ubuntu2 --- system-cleaner (1.10.4-0ubuntu2) intrepid-proposed; urgency=low * The "viime tingan pakettilisäykset ovat huono idea" release. * Added Polish translation from Piotr Makowski. (LP: #290196) * The apt Packages list is now checked for sanity. (LP: #290024) * Icon is now shown in menu, and by the window manager. (LP: #274714) * The current kernel will now never be considered cruft. (LP: #285657) * Now asks user to confirm that they want to remove packages or remove other cruft. (LP: #285888) * Package short description is now shown in the user interface. (LP: #286394) * The GTK UI now shows column headers, so that it is clear what the tick column means. (No bug reported about this explicitly, but it has come up repeatedly.) * Support for whitelists in /etc/cruft-remover.d/*.whitelist added. See the cruft-remover(8) manual page for details. This can later be seeded with the most common third-party packages, until dpkg+apt get sufficient meta data to deal with this in a better way.

[Bug 290024] Re: Cruft Remover removed most of the installed packages
ricky, Cruft Remover only removes packages, and the packages for the kernel take care of updating the GRUB menu.lst file appropriately.. What Cruft Remover does automatically you could achieve by removing the same packages manually. Thus, if there is a bug, it is in the kernel packages. If you have updated menu.lst in the way it is supposed to be edited, and your Windows entry gets removed anyway, you should file a new bug against the linux-image-2.6 package. This way, it will come to the attention of the people who will be in charge of fixing it.

Re: [Bug 290024] Re: Cruft Remover removed most of the installed packages
hi, I have found the reason why I could not boot after using cruft remover tool. The reason was this: I have made a custom boot menu and I always use to keep the same old boot menu whenever a new kernel is being installed( I am lazy to update my menu.lst as doing it will coz my windows partition to go away and i have to again change the menu.lst (sorry)) but when i use cruft it removed old kernel but my old kernel was linked to menu.lst so I could not boot in. So what I feel a good solution is whenever cruft is used to remove old kernel it should check whether the menu.lst is referring the old kernel or not. if it is referring old kernel then it should inform the user that they should update the menu.lst or can it automatically update the menu.lst if user enters no then it should not remove the kernel.

Tux, about leaving configuration files when removing packages: I decided that it is not safe to remove the configuration files automatically, since they can contain important data if they have been modified.

[Bug 290024] Re: Cruft Remover removed most of the installed packages
Everytime I check packages on my Intrepid install as well on my Jaunty test install I check if Cruft Remover works. Well it does so far. On Jaunty I have kernel and kernel/system dependent packages in "local or obsolete", but these are not marked by Cruft Remover. A non-system dependent package which is no more needed IS marked by Cruft Remover. So that's ok. But wait When removing this package it leaves it's configuration on the system, so there is no complete removal!! Why is that?? Doesn't that leave cruft on my system?

I came across this also. As a user naively trusting all apps in the Intrepid environment is stuff to trust I launched the System Cleaner directly following an install from Live CD. I assumed it probably cleans away some unneeded files to save some space. Well as described above most of the components got erased leaving only a command line Linux without the ability to login. So I had to reinstall all over. I think the System Cleaner should be removed until it is safe for non- experts to run.
