Public bug reported: the lxd images currently have 'os-prober' and 'libfreetype6' installed inside them. I suspect that this is a result of them having been built by building a cloud image (with a kernel and a grub) and then removing the kernel and grub.
Anyway, the end result is that there are packages that can be autoremoved and that seems just like oversite. $ url=http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily/server/xenial/current/xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.xz $ tball=${url##*/} $ [ -f "$tball" ] || { wget "$url" -O "$tball.t && mv "$tball.t" "$tball" ; } $ [ -d ex ] && sudo rm -Rf ex; $ mkdir -p ex $ sudo tar -C ex -Sxpf "$tball" $ sudo chroot ex apt-get autoremove $ sudo chroot ex apt-get autoremove --dry-run Reading package lists...
