Bug Description
Many users use Thunderbird, and therefore uninstal Evolution.
If a user uninstals all evolution-... packages thinking this will only uninstals Evolution, he will destroy his system because the following evolution-packages :
- evolution-common
- evolution-
- evolution-
- evolution-
are used by other Gnome applications. (according to https:/
So I suggest to rename them gnome-common-
And to split evolution-
I know this may happen very rarely, and that the system warns it will uninstal other packages, but this is an unlogical situation that i think can be quickly and easily solved.
my 2 cents
not a bug and not the first time a such request is made check for duplicate next time before opening a bug there
