  Binary package hint: software-center
  
  On a fresh 9.10 install with latest updates, when a user opens Ubuntu
  Software Center and tries to delete a package who has dependencies on
  it, there isn't any alert. The software just requests the password
  without any other confirmation.
  
  This behaviour doesn't follow the guidelines explained at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Removing%20an%20application
  After the removal process is started, X shutdowns itself and the distribution 
becomes pretty broken.
  
  After some digging I've found this bug can be replicated with Italian or
  French language, but doesn't happen with English language, so it seems
  related to localization. It still remains critical, for people who don't
  use Ubuntu in English.
  
  Ubuntu version: 9.10
  software-center version: 1.0.2
