I see that the applications list (Computer > Applications > More

loads the full package manager, which in turn loads the full package
list from the on-line repos.
IMNSHO, I think that it is not necessary to load the on-line package
lists if I only want to remove an application that is already
installed on the local system. The info needed for removal should
already be on my box. Or am I wrong? If I'm wrong, shouldn't the info
needed to remove a package be available off-line?
If the intention is to remove the menu reference, the package manager is
not needed. If the intention is to remove an application from disk, then
yes, you need the full package manager, which should then check whether
that will break dependencies.
