I think this is because ubuntu-desktop-minimal depends on gdm3. gdm3 Recommends gnome-session | x-session-manager
While ubuntu-session provides x-session-manager, apt is trying the first choice. It looks like no official Ubuntu flavor besides the default desktop version uses gdm3, so it should be safe for us to just add ubuntu- session first in that recommends list. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1966127 Title: ubuntu-desktop-minimal pulls gnome-session which is in universe Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: ubuntu-desktop-minimal is in main but installing it pulls gnome- session from universe.
