[Touch-packages] [Bug 574287] Re: tasksel: forcefully removes packages when tasks overlap
Today I used tasksel to add "lubuntu-desktop" to an "ubuntu-desktop" installation. Already installed and noticed by tasksel was additionally: "SSH-Service" and "Print Server". The installation of "lubunut-desktop" went fine. I logged in to lubuntu- desktop and now I wanted to remove the "ubuntu-desktop" only ... because it is an odroid and disk space is precoius. I ran tasksel and deselected "ubuntu-Desktop". I was logged in and was able to see how my desktop, start menue, icons ... were removed / uninstalled until in the end a completely naked dektop was left. I was not able to run tasksel again. So I had to reinstall again. :(( Ubuntu 18.04 on odroid u3.

Well, I wasn't as lucky as Colonel Angus and my system wasn't a fresh install. Love having my day and OS ruined by a ten year old bug that doesn't even have importance decided.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 574287] Re: tasksel: forcefully removes packages when tasks overlap
Like Elias M Ward, I installed lamp-server using taskel. It didn't work as expected and upon uninstalling, taskel removed everything. I came back to my desk, and the system was shot. No network, no desktop, nothing. Luckily, this was a fresh install, so a reinstall was the quickest way to get a usable system. Very, very poorly thought out. Ten years later?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 574287] Re: tasksel: forcefully removes packages when tasks overlap
WTF. I was uninstalling the ubuntu-mate-desktop task with tasksel (while ubuntu-desktop was still checked in the list), and it removed basically everything. Afterwards all tasks in the tasksel list were unchecked. This is definitely not the expected behavior: when I uncheck a specific task, I don't expect other tasks to be removed as well. I suggest to disable the package-removal functionality in tasksel. Alternatively, show a big warning when tasksel is about to remove anything. There are lots of warning posts about this behavior of tasksel all over the net, but if the warning does not appear in the application itself, I'm unlikely to see it before it's too late. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574287 Title: tasksel: forcefully removes packages when tasks overlap Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in tasksel package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in tasksel package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: TEST CASE 1.

I just ran into this bug. Started uninstalling everything when I was removing lamp-server. Thankfully I caught it at about 15% and killed the session when I started noticing things disappearing. This is a critical disastrous bug. How has it not been touched in so long? If it's not going to get fixed, at least remove tasksel out of production or at least remove the remove function from it.
