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

[Adolfo Jayme Barrientos]

But you should be using the “fuse3” package, not “fuse”, which is an old
version…

Title:
  Installing fuse package removes other important packages which causes
  instabilities

Status in fuse package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-
  browser/+bug/1970148

  
  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
