Public bug reported: When I want to remove software, clicking "Remove" often doesn't work. For instance, I prefer Quod Libet over Rhythmbox. So I selected Rhythmbox in Software Center, and clicked Remove. Two dialogs pop up: one for your password, and one showing that additional packages will be removed. After that, Software Center starts removing, and shows a progress bar to the right of the package being removed.
After a while, activity stops. And Rhythmbox is still installed. I had to repeat this Remove-routine FOUR TIMES before Rhythmbox was actually removed from my system. And the same applies to other packages, but the number of neccessary repetitions is different every time. I had to repeat the process 'just' two or three times for every LibreOffice component (Calc, Writer, Draw and Impress).
