Title:
ubuntu-desktop-minimal should not depend on mysql libs
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After upgrading to 20.04 I decided to remove packages that I don't
need or use.
I was surprised to find that mysql client, server and common packages
were installed, as I could not remember having installed mysql -- I
don't use it or develop for it...
When I removed them, ubuntu-desktop-minimal went along for the ride:
c@slate:~$ sudo apt-get purge -y mysql-client-core-5.7 mysql-common
mysql-server-core-5.7
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package 'mysql-client-core-5.7' is not installed, so not removed
Package 'mysql-server-core-5.7' is not installed, so not removed
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
libgsound0
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
colord* gnome-control-center* libmysqlclient21* libsane* libsnmp30*
mysql-common* ubuntu-desktop-minimal*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 7 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 28.4 MB disk space will be freed.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
This seems really wrong... and looks like a transitive dependency, as
I don't see it in apt-get showpkg ubuntu-desktop-minimal.
