Upgraded feisty now and tested fixup.py and apt-get:
(1)
Uninstalled ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop (to get situation similar to edgy with OpenOffice 2.1)
Run fixup.py
Checked autoremove
Nothing did change (see below)
(2)
Installed ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop
Run fixup.py
Uninstalled ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop
Checked autoremove
Seems OK now :)
(3)
Reinstalled some other packages that apt-get wants to autoremove even when ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop are installed
Checked autoremove
Seems OK now too :)
Some Ideas about this:
Maybe posibility to give explicite [meta-]packages to fixup.py would be good in situation (1) ?
Otherwise someone may need to break his installation by installing gone meta-packages or do a reinstall on all depending packages manually which is not really easy to do.
Additionaly fixup.py could maybe give some warning in case no desktop meta package is installed ?
@Michael: OK, thank you for that work.
