Just to note - Not sure what was up with the Dash before but "uninstall" on apps is now working. So in the case of webbrowser-app the uninstall option is front & center & will silently proceed to uninstall unity, ect. along with webbrowser-app package
** Description changed: So if a user decides to uninstall webbrowser-app then they will basically destroy their install. If done thru software-center there is no real indication of what is about to happen. (Bug 1278869 ) - If done thru the Dash not sure as currently "uninstall" of apps in Dash doesn't work, though I'd expect it would be similarly uninformative & just as destructive. + If done thru the Dash even a bit worse as the uninstall(s) are done silently in the background ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: unity-webapps-service 2.5.0~+14.04.20140205-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-8.28-generic 3.13.2 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-8-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.13.2-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Feb 14 10:12:33 2014 SourcePackage: libunity-webapps UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libunity-webapps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280337 Title: Dependency on webbrowser-app seems ill-advised Status in “libunity-webapps” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: So if a user decides to uninstall webbrowser-app then they will basically destroy their install.
