Title: Unclear warning before removing critical packages Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Ubuntu Software Center 5.3.11, Ubuntu Q 1. Search for "files". 2. Select "Files (nautilus)", and choose "Remove". What happens: "If you uninstall Files, future updates will not include new updates in The Ubuntu desktop system set. Are you sure you want to continue?" What should happen: "Files is a core item in Ubuntu. Removing it may cause future upgrades to be incomplete." <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#removing> (The Dash equivalent is bug 1047315.) After removing Evolution I wanted to get rid of all the related packages to Evolution, which I would imagine alot of other users would too! I removed libcamel because it was described as MIME handler for Evolution. However on reboot my Ubuntu install was annoyingly broken!! After some investigation it seems that removing libcamel also removes the ubuntu-desktop package! Im very annoyed that this bug is still here and nobody has reported it or discovered it. In the following thread I vented my frustration on this issue and included a screenshot of what it tells you will be removed. The ubuntu-desktop package is not listed. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1607443 However I want a very, very obvious warning dialog to show up if ubuntu-desktop or any important system packages are going to be removed. This is essential to stop new Ubuntu users from easily breaking their own Ubuntu installation!
