I have tested removing cloud-init using this guide on Ubuntu Server 22.04 and Ubuntu Server 22.04 (minimized) installed with the default settings. Uninstalling cloud-init from full Ubuntu Server does not mark important packages for removal, but doing it from the minimized version did so. See the screenshot below. If I execute sudo apt autoremove after that, and restart the server, the Internet is no longer accessible and all Internet-related commands are not found.


Is that a bug? If not, can I remove cloud-init from the minimized version without destroying network access? I am not using cloud. I just wanted a bare-minimum Ubuntu desktop (I add XFCE to this).

I experienced the same.


On the second try I did it in this order without rebooting between the commands...


apt purge cloud-init


rm -rf /etc/cloud


apt purge unattended-upgrades


rm -rf /var/log/unattended-upgrades


apt autoremove


apt install netplan.io


apt install isc-dhcp-client


Then rebooted and network was still working with the values entered on installation.


And I would say, removing netplan.io with whatever as dependency should clearly be seen as a bug.
