[Bug 1763182] Re: remove landscape-common from minimal image

[Iain Lane]

I was just reviewing this upload in the queue.

+    DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y landscape-common

This doesn't strike me as the most maintainable solution, since there
are two places to keep coordinated. Is there any way that the
duplication of package names can be avoided? Like `apt --fix-policy
--install-recommends install' or, if there are other recommends
intentionally not reinstalled, factor out the list so that it can be
consumed in auto/config and auto/build?

Title:
  remove landscape-common from minimal image

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The stated goal of minimal image is to strip out packages useful only
  to humans so that a smaller base can be used to build smaller
  applications running in clouds and in containers.

  To this end, please remove landscape-common as it pulls in a few
  python3 deps, and its goal is only to provide an entry in the dynamic
  MOTD that shows system statistics (disk usage, memory usage, etc) that
  a human would look at when logging in interactively.
