Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
The first solution is really bad as it removes various useful packages,
including evolution, that was asked to be installed on the command line
(I regard this one as a bug).
The second solution is OK, as only a library package is removed, and
such a package with no dependencies on it is useless.
