It might have changed in the newer releases of Ubuntu, but on 16.04 (Unity desktop) `dbus-user-session` is NOT installed by default and NOT a dependency of any standard packages.
I myself got it as dependency of Anbox. Now that this is gone, the only remaining thing that points to this package is `dbus`, but as a suggestion. Suggestions are optional dependencies that do not automatically get installed unless you explicitly command `apt` to do so. Also if you would remove something which another (meta-)package recommends or suggests (not hard dependencies), that wouldn't uninstall this other package. And even if so, in case of the desktop meta-packages like `ubuntu-desktop` it would not make a difference anyway, as these don't have a function other than initially installing all stuff. No harm in them being removed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1689825 Title: gnome-keyring not unlocked on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dbus/+bug/1689825/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
