[Bug 551821] [NEW] Unable to remove a package prior to installation

[Robert Stagner]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

Attempts to install the 'devede' package from within KpackageKit results
in the application stating that "A package dependency could not be
found".  Viewing the details, KpackageKit reports "Remove the package
libpostproc51 before" (see attached screen shot).  Clicking the OK
button has no affect.

However, when I use the apt-get command to install the same package, the
apt-get command properly resolves the necessary dependencies.  In fact,
when using apt-get, the package is successfully installed.
