Title:
xiterm+thai is installed and set to x-terminal-emulator
Status in lubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
==================
1. Install a daily version of Lubuntu Desktop Bionic or boot to the live system
2. Check for where /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator is symlinked
EXPECTED RESULTS
================
/usr/bin/lxterminal
ACTUAL RESULTS
==============
/usr/bin/txiterm
AFFECTED VERSIONS
=================
* Desktop only; not Alternate
* Bionic only; Artful is not affected
* both amd64 and i386
NOTES
=====
* lxterminal and xiterm+thai are both installed
* postinst scripts on both packages set the update-alternatives priority to 20 (this cycle lxterminal was lowered to this value)
* lxterminal is installed after xiterm+thai and thus does not become the new x-terminal-emulator because of the priority being no greater
* xiterm+thai is not explicitly required by our seeds
* there is no package that xiterm+thai depends on (apt-rdepends -r), so there should be no indirect depend on it
* germinate-output, cd-build-logs don't show xiterm+thai being installed
* cd-build-image logs do show xiterm+thai being installed as a depend of apport-gtk
* apport-gtk requires x-terminal-emulator, not a specific one
* if a package satisfying a virtual package is not already installed, the selection is essentially random
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
==================
* explicity unseed xiterm+thai, which I think is more of a band-aid
* ensure that lxterminal is installed before apport-gtk, which will ideally require running germinate locally
