Hi, 2 items keeping python2.7-minimal on the livecd.
* cifs-utils Was added in 2010 for using a CIFS root= in casper. That seems like a very specific use case, that could just be on a customized image? (it also appears in server manifest) * ibus-sunpinyin Was added 9/2017 [2] as part of moving from fcitx. This package hasn't been updated since 2013. Previously we've added it to the desktop session and then removed for ibus-pinyin for size (and in this case it seems better maintained). Once installed, I believe the remaining libpython2 are both due to Samba, which is well known as a blocking python2 dependency : gnome-control-center from a temporary patch for printer sharing gvfs-backends - from samba support Kind regards, Bryan [1] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu.artful/revision/1760 [2] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu.artful/revision/2570.1.1 -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
