- After removing Evolution I wanted to get rid of all the related packages
- to Evolution, which I would imagine alot
The next step, to make *this* bug fixable, is for someone to come up
with a way where USC can tell that it is dangerous to remove
libcamel1.2-14 but not dangerous to remove evolution.
Any omissions in the list of packages that will be removed should be a
separate bug report, please.

The issue I described in the other bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/680385
was slightly different:
The problem was caused because software center did apt-get autoremove. The
packages removed before the autoremove operation were not critical.

I removed evolution-data-server and evolution-data-server-common because I use
gmail, so I didn't want any email software on my system. However, that removed
gnome-panel with no notice whatsoever.
I would like to suggest that we show what packages are being removed regardless
of whether it's
I agree, USC should definitely let you know what packages are being
removed. I had thought that it already did, but perhaps not. But I think
it should go a step further for users who don't know what packages are
important (my example in Bug #653293 had no idea what gnome-panel was)
by giving them
If I understand you correctly, Matthew, we have a couple of problems.
1) This message fails to appear when a dependency of ubuntu-desktop is marked
for removal: “{title} is a core item in Ubuntu. Removing it may cause future
upgrades to be incomplete.”
2) When a very important package is
The error message David quotes is defined in step 4 of
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#removing. However, The Ubuntu
desktop system is the title of ubuntu-desktop, and that is supposed to
be special-cased with its own error message in step 3. So, that much is
a bug in USC.
Removing
I have just tried this in Natty alpha.
If you try and uninstall Cups you get the following message.
If you uninstall Cups, future updates will not include new items in The
Desktop system set. Ar you sure you want to continue.
And if you scroll down the bottom item on the list is The Ubuntu
I guess The Ubuntu desktop system is the ubuntu-desktop package. I'm
glad Natty warns before removing that. Obviously the warning should be
more strong considering the effect of continuing.
I had thought this sort of thing was caused by APT's dependency
calculation going weird, so the same thing
gdebi-gtk does warn about removing ubuntu-desktop and libsdl1.2-debian-
pulseaudio. However, software center does NOT warn that it's going to do
autoremove and start removing their dependencies too.

Confirming. The current implementation of warning which packages will be
removed returns incomplete lists.
