Why is ntfs-3g not included anymore in Ubuntu 11.10?

Now I can't write to my NTFS partition.

Just curiosity, why the change?

AFAIK `ntfs-3g` is included in the default Ubuntu installation, because the virtual `ubuntu-standard` package depends on it. You've probably uninstalled it by mistake.

Check the output of

```
dpkg -l ntfs*

```

If you see something like **rc** for the package, you've uninstalled it.

EDIT:

From your comments it looks like you installed `ntfsprogs`. If that is true, then by installing it you automatically uninstalled `ntfs-3g`, as these two packages are in conflict (in Oneiric). `ntfs-3g` now provides the functionality of `ntfsprogs` so it's not needed.
I found out that ntfsprogs has write support for NTFS. And thus it replaces ntfs-3g.

But this package is still a bit buggy and sometimes it doesn't work so you can't create new folders and files on the NTFS filesystems.

So it is working on a random base xD.

In Ubuntu things should be tested more properly. Because they just replaced a working package with a buggy one.
