Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. What you have described is not a bug with apt, as it is correctly handling the dependencies of the packages that you are trying to remove. The reason that ubuntu-desktop and GDM are removed, is because GDM depends on alsa-utils (which you are removing), and ubuntu- desktop depends on both GDM and alsa-utils.
If you wish to disable sound on your machine, a better way to do this without breaking your install would be to blacklist the module for your particular sound card. -- Removing Sound Driver Should not Remove Entire Ubuntu Graphical User Interface (GNOME) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242033 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
