This is harassment because you force me to use either Xarchiver or Ark, you don't give me the choice to use none. (Actually I wanted to install PeaZip which you don't provide as a package, so why would I want to keep Xarchiver?) All normal package managers would just remove everything that depends on Xarchiver, not force me to install alternative. You are a bunch of hypocrites and assholes, you are not fighting for freedom, you just provide separate contrib and non-free repositories just to make up illusion of fighting fighting for freedom. If you really fought for freedom, I would have a freedom to just remove what I don't like (Xarchiver) and everything that depends on it (as long as it's not an optional dependency).
