hi Jean,
  I know that rarian-compat and scrollkeeper conflict with one another
as they provide the same service. I also realized the the upstream of
scrollkeeper isn't maintained hence ubuntu is thinking or using
rarian-compat and I see no problem with that as well.

My only issue is the messages which came when I was installing
rarian-compat or while I was removing rarian-compat. The messages I
felt were invasive and creates doubt in the mind of the user.

Something like :-

Package scrollkeeper is to be removed.
 Package rarian-compat which provides scrollkeeper is not installed.
 zenity depends on rarian-compat | scrollkeeper; however:
 Package rarian-compat is not installed.
 Package scrollkeeper is to be removed.

now if you look at the message itself, its misleading for I was
installing rarian-compat while it says


Package rarian-compat which provides scrollkeeper is not installed.

Also let's say even if I was uninstalling just scollkeeper the message
could have been user-friendly saying something like should I install
rarian-compat for you if you deinstalling/removing/purging
scrollkeeper or vice-versa.

The message itself makes me nervous. Hope I'm clearer this time around :)
