Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution
PLEASE READ THIS THREAD FIRST TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3119577#post3119577 Also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/129849 may help a tad. 1) Tried removing Evolution: apt-get --purge remove evolution apt-get autoremove I was only able to remove evolution evolution-exchange evolution-plugins libexchange-storage1.2-3 I removed the following packages manually by searching for 'evolution' in Synaptic evolution-common evolution-data-server evolution-data-server-common evolution-webcal openoffice.org-evolution I NEVER got prompts saying that any of these packages were depends of other packages, therefore making them orphans. I ran deborphan and found 2 more: libegroupwise1.2-13 libedata-cal1.2-6 I WAS NOT PROMPTED ON THEIR REMOVAL EITHER! Since no warning prompts were received, I believe they were orphaned and should have been autoremoved when I did my 'apt-get autoremove' BUT THEY WERE NOT. I believe this means there are errors in listing the dependencies of several packages' control files. ----------------------------- I tried reinstalling evolution: apt-get install evolution 7 new packages are installed: evolution evolution-common evolution-data-server evolution-data-server-common libedata-cal1.2-6 libegroupwise1.2-13 libexchange-storage1.2-3 I noticed that many of these packages installed were removed/autoremoved when uninstalled. As for the other packages: openoffice.org-evolution (unessential OOo plugin) evolution-webcal (not sure what this does...) evolution-exchange (listed as a suggest) evolution-plugins (listed as a recommend) I can see why they were left out of the vanilla evolution install (non- essential). So why is evolution good on installing it's depends, but fails to remove them with 'apt-get autoremove' on the uninstall? Nothing else depends on them (unless something DOES and was left out of the package's list of depends in its control file). ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Evolution doesn't fully uninstall it's packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129866 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
