Public bug reported: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10
$ apt-cache policy tasksel (and tasksel-data) Installed: 3.34ubuntu9 Candidate: 3.34ubuntu9 Selecting the "Vanilla GNOME desktop" task during installation using Artful's mini.iso results in only about 80 additional packages being installed, compared to "Ubuntu desktop"'s 1000+. This results in little, if anything, more than a basic minimal install. Running "tasksel --task-package ubuntu-desktop" returns "ubuntu- desktop^", while running "tasksel --task-packages vanilla-gnome-desktop" returns nothing at all.
