It's unclear to me why removing initramfs-tools wants to add all of these other packages, but I don't think that's anything to do with the apparmor SRU; and I can get a clean removal with no new packages installed by running # apt purge build-essential binutils make-guile cpp make libdpkg-perl initramfs-tools So I consider this v-done. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-xenial ** Tags added: verification-done-xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713169 Title: Remove wrong dependency on initramfs-tools Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apparmor source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Bug description: [SRU Justification] In xenial and earlier, apparmor depends on initramfs-tools. In zesty and later, this dependency has been dropped, as explained in the Debian changelog for 2.9.0-3+exp1 and merged into Ubuntu in 2.10.95-4ubuntu1: * Drop dependency from apparmor on initramfs-tools: the early modules loading code that needed it was removed a while ago (Closes: #771240). This is a wrong dependency in xenial as well, which also includes no early boot code. We should drop this dependency, to support building of images with initramfs-tools removed for systems that we know don't require an initramfs. [Test case] 1. On a xenial default chroot/container install, try to run 'sudo apt purge initramfs-tools'. 2. Verify that this tries to remove apparmor. 3. Cancel the removal. 4. Install apparmor from xenial-proposed. 5. Run 'sudo apt purge initramfs-tools' again. 6. Verify that apparmor is not removed. [Regression Potential] If apparmor were somehow using initramfs-tools without it being obvious from the package contents, then removing initramfs-tools from the dependencies could in some rare corner cases cause misbehavior of the system. However, there are currently no Ubuntu images or stock system installs which do not pull in initramfs-tools by other paths (e.g. by way of the kernel packages) so this risk is minimal.
