* Engine.pm: made it so fink can't remove or purge essential pkgs
- like bzip2-dev which can be removed in current fink, even though
- fink will just reinstall them, why not just not allow it to be removed?
+ like bzip2-dev and added warnings for it and not installed packages.
Also made it so if the pkgs to be removed are the same as the ones
in ARGV then don't ask first. And added a print_breaking for long
package listings.
This is bad.
bzip2-dev is NOT an essential package, and it MUST be allowed to remove it.
That is true of every -dev package.
If we don't allow the removal, then we can never upgrade the library if
there is a non-binary-compatible change. During a transition period to
the new library you would have to allow the -dev packages to swap in and
out.
