[Bug 2003387] Re: ubuntu-desktop-minimal should depend on cryptsetup, lvm2

[Jeremy Bicha]

Marking all packages as 'auto' like that is not supported.

Besides cryptsetup and lvm2, there are several other packages that are
available for the installer and only kept on the system if they are
needed:

https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-
seeds/+git/ubuntu/tree/ship-live

The installer also includes support for many languages but only English
and the configured language is kept on the installed system.

We will likely close this bug since this is intended behavior.

Title:
  ubuntu-desktop-minimal should depend on cryptsetup, lvm2

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The meta-packages ubuntu-desktop-minimal / ubuntu-minimal depend on
  everything needed for a functioning desktop / server installation
  respectively. Well, almost everything.

  Two packages that they don't depend on, but should, or at least it should recommend them are:
  - cryptsetup
  - lvm2

  The reason is that if Ubuntu was installed with disk encryption and/or
  LVM turned on, these packages are essential. The system won't even
  boot without cryptsetup, for example (found this out the hard way).

  The release of Ubuntu you are using: 22.10
  The version of the package you are using: ubuntu-desktop-minimal 1.497
