I'm running Precise, and for some reason I got a partial distribution upgrade from the software update; It suggested to remove "125 Obsolete packages". Which included a lot of the i386 libraries (I at some point explicitly installed ia32-libs to have those, and I never uninstalled that package.) I also explicitly installed lvm2 and use lvm2 partitions... but somehow synaptic lists lvm2 in "auto removable" category.
I don't know what steps I can do to go from clean install (I installed this machine only a few weeks ago) to the situation were synaptics wants to remove critical packages... but this should not happen at all! If I wasn't paying enough attention and trusted Synaptic, I would now be left with an unbootable system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384314 Title: synaptic lists packages as auto removable when they shouldn't be To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/384314/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
