[Bug 1978310] [NEW] Installing fuse package removes other important packages which causes instabilities

[Thomas B]

Public bug reported:

I installed the `fuse` package in my fresh Ubuntu 22.04 installation and
later started getting weird behavior in some applications (such as
Chrome). I believe this might be related, as installing `fuse` caused
many packages to be removed.

This was reported by others here:

apt log shows this:
`
Start-Date: 2022-06-04  10:31:38
Commandline: apt install fuse
Requested-By: thomas (1000)
Install: libfuse2:amd64 (2.9.9-5ubuntu3, automatic), fuse:amd64 (2.9.9-5ubuntu3)
Remove: ntfs-3g:amd64 (1:2021.8.22-3ubuntu1), xdg-desktop-portal-gtk:amd64 (1.14.0-1build1), xdg-desktop-portal-gnome:amd64 (42.1-0ubuntu1), gvfs-fuse:amd64 (1.48.1-4), ubuntu-desktop:amd64 (1.481), gnome-shell-
extension-desktop-icons-ng:amd64 (43-2), fuse3:amd64 (3.10.5-1build1), ubuntu-desktop-minimal:amd64 (1.481), xdg-desktop-portal:amd64 (1.14.3-0ubuntu2.22.04.1)
End-Date: 2022-06-04  10:31:57
`

So, installing `fuse` removes packages such as `ubuntu-desktop` and
`xdg-desktop-portal`, which (I believe) are important packages and
should not be removed.

System information:
Ubuntu 22.04 running on amd64 hardware
