[kwlug-disc] Interesting problem i had yesterday with Ubuntu

[R. Brent Clements]

I installed a piece of software using the command line yesterday, and apt
reported a long list of packages that it claimed were redundant and could
be removed with "sudo apt autoremove".  I didn't look very closely at the
list, and when I ran the program and saw some of the packages being removed
I became concerned.  I rebooted the computer to discover that the entire
desktop system had been removed, and my computer booted into the command
line login prompt.

Is this a bug, or is this the behaviour I should have expected from that
command?  I was able to just install the "ubuntu-studio-desktop" package
and the system was restored almost completely.  Still a bit frustrating
though
