3When I do this on Ubuntu 16.04, it also wants to remove `ubuntu-minimal`, which seems like a bad idea? – Lars Nyström Aug 17 '18 at 11:37

See https://askubuntu.com/questions/1066154/what-is-the-ubuntu-minimal-package-and-do-i-need-it for advice on whether it is safe to remove `ubuntu-minimal`. – fuenfundachtzig Sep 28 '21 at 19:15
