[Bug 998309] [NEW] remove vim-tiny will remove ubuntu-minimal

[Huanghe Wu]

Public bug reported:

When I remove vim-tiny,
it says ubuntu-minimal will be removed too,
but ubuntu-minimal is important (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages):

ubuntu-minimal: This package depends on all of the packages in the
Ubuntu minimal system, that is a functional command-line system with the
following capabilities: Boot, Detect hardware, Connect to a network,
Install packages, and Perform basic diagnostics. It is also used to help
ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not be removed.

I think this is probably a bug.
