A popup or message will warn the user that software needs to be uninstalled, most of which seems completely unrelated. Some of the packages required to be uninstalled include: compiz g++, gcc, etc firefox gedit gnome system monitor gparted Plus a huge amount of other packages, totalling 1.5G. For all these packages to be removed to simply use a compiler and runtime environment for an obscure scripting languages doesn't seem right.
