[Bug 793318] Re: apturl can silently uninstall vital packages like network-manager
This has likely been a dependence issue in pcsc-lite or beidgui since apturl just calls apt-get to make to actual install. I've cheched the dependencies for the aforementioned packages and they don't depend on NM. Also, the pcsclite1 package has been removed from the repositories. Therefore, the pcsc-lite part (all pcsc related packages seem to use pcsc-lite for bug management and other tasks in LP) of this bug is fixed. I'm leaving this bug open since I guess that you want apturl to be less destructive. Btw, I tagged this bug with lucid since the package versions mentioned in the apt log are from Lucid's repositories. ** Summary changed: - apturl can silently uninstall vital packages like network-manager + Should confirm package conflicts from the user as apturl can silently uninstall vital packages like network-manager -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/793318 Title: Should confirm package conflicts from the user as apturl can silently uninstall vital packages like network-manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apturl/+bug/793318/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 793318] Re: apturl can silently uninstall vital packages like network-manager
Thanks for taking care of this bug. Please note that it has nothing to do with pcsc etc... but with the fact that APTURL is a black box that, as opposed to Synaptic, does secret things to your system including possibly destroying it. I have started writing a full text about that. Wait a little bit. I'll finish it and I'll include it in here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/793318 Title: Should confirm package conflicts from the user as apturl can silently uninstall vital packages like network-manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apturl/+bug/793318/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
