Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt
When installing syslog-ng, apt removes syslog and ubuntu-minimal. A subsequent apt-get autoremove tries to remove upstart, which has priority required. I believe apt-get autoremove should not by default autoremove required packages. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- apt-get autoremove removes required packages https://launchpad.net/bugs/75882 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
