Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution-data-server
On every Ubuntu machine parts of Evolution are always present and
impossible to get rid of, such as evolution-data-server and evolution-
data-server-common.
Attempt to remove those packages (i.e. everything Evolution-dependent)
results in most of Gnome being removed as well.
Maintainers of those packages claim that Gnome has Evolution
dependencies in several places.
This is not acceptable: most users don't care for heavy business tools
such as Evolution, and they don't want to be bothered by various
"evolution-***" updates.
Gnome should be able to easily run 100% Evolution-free.
This is what I did:
sudo aptitude remove evolution-data-server evolution-data-server-common
But it claims that half of Gnome itself and even (!) Metacity window manager
depend on Evolution!
Here is the output:
