As the requirement for reproducing is "being offline" it could be that this remove command wants to download packages, which fails.
Yes, remove can install packages – specifically the problem resolver can try to fix a broken dependency by installing another provider/or-group member. Controlled by `pkgProblemResolver::FixByInstall` which is enabled by default. Once in a while I wonder if that should have been disabled for remove commands. Or if it was a mistake to resolve an upgrade problem 14y ago with this. Hard to tell if it does more good than bad as that highly depends on the situation. The other "obvious" possibility is that a maintainer script is trying to access the network. Perhaps its intended only on install, but not correctly guarded for the removal case. -- 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/2063003 Title: package manager could not make changes to the installed system Status in apt package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is the cause of Ubuntu Unity failing to install.
