[Bug 1991139] Re: prompted to remove systemd-hwe-hwdb but re-installed via updates

[Julian Andres Klode]

I think it's a bug where update-manager installs those additional
packages which stems from its implementation of phased updates, but it's
also not a priority to work on because this only happens when an SRU
introduces a new dependency which does not happen all that often.

** Package changed: apt (Ubuntu) => update-manager (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Triaged

Title:
  prompted to remove systemd-hwe-hwdb but re-installed via updates

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  sudo apt upgrade

  gives me this :

  The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  systemd-hwe-hwdb
  Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
  The following packages have been kept back:
  libnss-systemd libpam-systemd libspeechd2 libsystemd0 libudev1 python3-speechd speech-dispatcher speech-dispatcher-audio-plugins
  speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng systemd systemd-oomd systemd-sysv systemd-timesyncd udev
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 14 not upgraded.

  sudo apt autoremove

  removes the no longer required systemd-hwe-hwdb

  but the software updater brings it back & this cycle goes on in loop.

  kindly check.
