They both sound awfully "generic" (pun intended), but I can't really come up with an example for a bad match, so lets just try it I guess.
That said, isn't the "deeper" problem that these metapackages can be removed easily even through they are important to keep the kernel up-to- date (and hence secure). Perhaps some should be "Important:yes"… For the record: apts behavior is different depending on if you explicitly remove a metapackage vs. its removed as part of problem resolution like in a dist-upgrade or if you remove some dependee. Only in the later cases the manual bit is applied to the (other) dependencies of the metapackage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1787460 Title: Unattended upgrades removed linux-image-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1787460/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
