** Summary changed:
- xiterm+thai installed by default in Ubuntu 20.04 (Australian Locale)
+ apport-gtk and apport-kde install xiterm+thai as dependency
(x-terminal-emulator)
** Description changed:
[Impact]
* When installing apport-gtk (or apport-kde) on a non-GUI installation
(cloud image, server image) as a dependency providing x-terminal-emulator
xiterm+thai package is pulled in, which is not appropriate for most locales.
My understanding is it was selected due to lowest number of unsatisfied
dependencies.
[Test Case]
* lxc launch ubuntu:20.04 test
* lxc shell test
* apt update
* apt install apport-gtk
- * Examine the packages listed to be installed: xiterm+thai should be among
them.
+ * Examine the packages listed to be installed: xiterm+thai is one of them.
[Regression Potential]
* In dedicated archive mirrors with limited number of packages changing
that may cause errors due to packages missing in the archive. However,
that's unlikely.
[Other Info]
- * It is not affecting bionic, since x-terminal-emulator is listed as
'Suggests' not 'Depends' there.
+ * It is not affecting bionic, since x-terminal-emulator is listed as
'Suggests' not 'Depends' there.
* Original bug description:
Vanilla install of Ubuntu 20.04 set to an Australian locale includes the
"Thai X Terminal" package.
This package should not be included.
