I guess I should respond eventually! Upgrade does actually remove xscreensaver (the package is gone, the binary is gone, it's gone.), and replaces with it gnome-screensaver.
The xscreensaver preferences stored in ~/.xscreensaver are still there, and when gnome-screensaver is (again) removed and xscreensaver (again) installed, everything is back to where it should be. Like I said, not a showstopper bug, but awfully annoying to someone who hates gnome-screensaver as much as I do. In fact, it caused me to delay upgrading for probably 3-4 months a while ago, since I wasn't as familiar with Linux, and wasn't sure how hard it would be for me to get xscreensaver back after upgrade. The whole idea of update-manager is to make updating/upgrading easy, and this threw a wrench in that process for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775369 Title: Update manager removes xscreensaver and replaces with gnome- screensaver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/update-manager/+bug/775369/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
