Is this some knowledge you bring from practical use or some secret document?
% sudo apt-get remove openmotif3-shlibs
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
arb openmotif3-shlibs
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
As David mentioned, right now we are looking for help in rewriting the dependency engine if you are interested. :)
