[ubuntu-uk] Dummy transitional package

[Pete Smout]

Hi
I was looking to uninstall deja dup as it keeps hogging 85-90% of my cpu,
whilst in synaptic I found the package "ttf-dejavu-core" which tells me
that it is a "dummy transitional package. It can safely be removed" , but
when I try and remove it it says another 7 packages depend on it, including
clementine & xbmc (which I use regularly!)

Why does it say it can safely be removed when it obviously can't ?

Note this is not a tech problem, just me trying to learn!

Regards
