After installing Ubuntu Focal 20.08.17 (on Pine A64), I have noticed the following. Uninstalling unneeded packages with

apt-get autoremove

shows that the package python3-distro-info will be uninstalled. Can other users confirm this issue and can it be fixed when building the image?

is it causing any problems? or are you just looking at it from a housekeeping perspective.  

It most of the times means a replacement has been installed and this package isn't needed anymore. You'll often have that on a fresh install after doing update/upgrade, or from installing and removing many programs.
So you get packages that aren't used by anything. So it gives you the message it may be removed with autoremove.
If everything works, don't care about it.

Yup. Sometimes it is necessary to replace a package with another one even inside a branch, Focal for example. Probably less likely with Buster

Anyway as long as the package is not insanely big or causing trouble I'll leave it as it is. However you are free to check into the build script and look for the installed packages and do some tests with this package not installed by default if it is even possible from scratch. https://github.com/armbian/build

Thanks for your replies. I've also observed it in Armbian_20.11.0-trunk.41_Pine64_focal_current_5.9.8.img.xz It is indeed from a housekeeping perspective. Shall I create an issue for it at https://github.com/armbian/build ?

Found the root cause and is not an issue for Armbian but my own post install script, Sorry for that. This topic can be marked as closed.
