Ubuntu has gone!

[Juan De Mola]

Your opinion is good, valid and welcomed but I don't share this.

The idea of a new dep checker come up after 2 years with the same
crazy thing: you tell to ubuntu that you don't need something and it
says you need uninstall n (where n is a separated pack not related or
related by one or two libs). Example of this is the magical duo
Evolution Ekiga. If the 1st is uninstalled the 2nd must too.

It's the perfect logic you say don't need be reviewed?

My tiny brain is unable to pass it on.
