Bug Description
Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS: sudo apt install samba-dev:i386
Installs a bunch of stuff relating to the libreoffice suite and at the tail end of the installation of the above-named package, apt removes a plethora of absolutely essential packages need to use Ubuntu, including, but not limited to the entire desktop, gdm, and the ability to access the internet to download any packages with apt. The entire virtual machine (other than a rudimentary terminal when booting up) was broken after installing samba-dev:i386 and needed to be restored from a backup. Please either have apt refuse to install samba-dev:i386, or at the very least, provide a complete list of essential packages that will be removed with a mandatory interactive confirmation to proceed.
I had tried to install this package, which is one of the dependencies for building Wine from source:
Wine ... configure: 32-bit/64-bit libnetapi not found, Samba NetAPI won't be supported.
