I ran sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql* and didn't notice that it also had ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop-minimal gnome-control-center ... and a whole bunch more.
I've not rebooted yet, but I'm worried my system will go belly up once I do.
- What will happen on reboot?
- Why on earth would it remove those packages when it doesn't start with
mysql

Simply reinstallubuntu-desktopbefore rebooting. Apt has several safeguards to prevent mass-removals. Perhaps you have disabled or ignored them.

Because those packages depend on one one or more of themysql*packages. Be careful with using wildcards when removing anything from your system.apt-getshould have told you which packages are going to removed, reading before hitting enter would have saved you the headache.
