[Bug 998309] Re: remove vim-tiny will remove ubuntu-minimal

(1) This is not a "bug," per sé; vim-tiny is a dependency of ubuntu-
minimal, so it makes sense that APT would want to remove ubuntu-minimal
if you removed vim-tiny.

(2) Now that we've established that this isn't a bug, in the past, it
has been requested, namely in Bug #100029, that vim-tiny be removed from
ubuntu-minimal's dependencies, but it was marked as "Won't Fix." Thus, I
will mark this as a duplicate of that bug, as this bug seems to imply as
well that vim-tiny should not be a dependency of ubuntu-minimal. Please
note, however, the related Bug #908132, which recommends that ubuntu-
minimal depend on a meta package rather than vim-tiny.

Hope this helps!

Title:
  remove vim-tiny will remove ubuntu-minimal

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When I remove vim-tiny,
  it says ubuntu-minimal will be removed too,
  but ubuntu-minimal is important (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages):

  ubuntu-minimal: This package depends on all of the packages in the
  Ubuntu minimal system, that is a functional command-line system with
  the following capabilities: Boot, Detect hardware, Connect to a
  network, Install packages, and Perform basic diagnostics. It is also
  used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not
  be removed.

  I think this is probably a bug.
