[Bug 438365] Re: erlang should not depend on wxwidgets2.8

[Larry Williams]

It's disappointing that such decisions, well-meaning as they are, wind
up breaking other pcakges that, even still, are available in repos.
Software Center doesn't properly inform the user what is broken when
they try to install such a package, only that there is a problem they
need to fix. And when trying to install multiple packages, Software
Center doesn't advise the user which package failed, an unfortunate
situation for the average user.

I hope the decision to remove this package is reconsidered, or at least
completed so that Ubuntu isn't left in a broken state, however slight.
