> the upgrade gives you a chance to see the details you want. You were prompted with these screens, including the obsolete software screen, correct?
Correct. As I said, not good enough. > Please be more specific about the exact changes you would like to see. Again as I said: for every individual application that you are going to remove that I installed manually (as opposed to it being installed as a dependency), you have to show an individual popup screen with a very scary warning. THEN, if you want, there you can add a checkbox like "apply to all" or whatever, where I can choose to accept in bulk after reviewing a list. OR simply change the "remove obsolete packages" prompt to make it more scary, so I get the impression that I seriously need to review the list. However, if the number is actually in the order of 86, you need to make it smaller to begin with, one way or another. Otherwise, even if I start to look at the list seriously, chances are I'll end up missing something or saying "well, whatever". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887407 Title: Distribution upgrade uninstalled TortoiseHG without asking me Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I had TortoiseHG installed on my computer https://tortoisehg.bitbucket.io/download/linux.html After upgrading from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, then 19.10 and then 20.04 (I can't tell at what stage), it's GONE. Never was I asked if I was fine with that. I don't care if there's a conflict of packages or whatever, you don't just uninstall software like that without asking me for confirmation. And yes, at some point I guess I clicked Yes to something like "2387 packages will be installed, 8793 will be removed" or whatever. But if you are going to uninstall an application that I installed manually (as opposed to some library that I never chose to install), you have to give a very specific warning and prompt, one that I can't easily miss. This is OUTRAGEOUS. Now I wonder how many other programs, that I don't use that often (unlike THG with which I work on a daily basis) may be gone.
