[ubuntu-uk] Removing Evolution
Hi All, I removed evolution a while ago using the software center, but I noticed today doing an upgrade that its still updating evolution-data-server-common what is this package and what is it used for? Synaptic describes it like this / The data server, called Evolution Data Server is responsible for managing calendar and addressbook information. This package contains the architecture independent files needed by the evolution-data-server package. /Can this be removed? If so why didnt the software center remove it? Thanks -Mark -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Thanks -Mark Hello Mark, I also removed evolution but kept the evolution-data-server-common package as I noticed it had a lot of Gnome dependencies. For now I have just left it installed. -- John Stevenson Lean Agile Consultant / Coach jr0cket.com | leanagilemachine.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

It does what it says on the tin - provides address book and calendar services to the Gnome desktop, which are accessed through Evolution but are independent of it. It wouldn't be removed by Software Center as that is mostly used for desktop applications. Someone might be able to give a better view of where it sits in the Gnome architecture but I would be very careful about choosing to remove it as it's one of those things that has a lot of potential dependencies. s/ -- Save BBC 6 Music http://www.love6music.com My CV: http://bit.ly/sfgreenwood_cv Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/simonfgreenwood Twitter: @sfgreenwood -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

If so why didnt the software center remove it? You could try and remove it but other things (panel applets for example) depend on it, so they might be removed too. That's why Software Centre didn't remove it. Personally I'd leave it in. Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Removing Evolution from 9.04
Is there a safe way to do this? If I try Add/Remove programs I get warnings about uninstalling Gnome! -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
