Well...a debate over if this is a real bug or not is not one I will go into, however, I would like to say one thing about this. Having tried Linux Mint, I can tell you for certain that there is NOTHING about the GNOME desktop that actually requires ANY part of evolution, INCLUDING

Why does removing Evolution also remove gnome-dbg? Which is debugging symbols for the entire gnome desktop. Is the logic that to debug the gnome desktop you need an office app that provides group communications and a calendar? Is it a diabolical microsoft style trick by an Evolution fanboy to

This isn't a bug though. As already pointed out, there are lots of desktop components that currently (correctly) depend on evolution-data- server as they use features of it. If you want to remove e-d-s, then you will also have to remove those components that depend on it too. -- Cannot uninstall

And, AFAICT, the only package which cannot be removed is evolution-data- server-common, which doesn't actually contain anything other than a few icons and glade files used by other components. It doesn't actually contain any evolution executable code or libraries If that is the only package you

why do you insist on asking those user questions on the bug tracker? those depends are correct, evolution-data-server is used by those applications to get stored information and the depends are correct, you don't understand what evolution-data-server is used not only by evolution apparently but

Well, if its not only used by Evolution, then perhaps it should have a smarter name. Like gnome-data-server or something. Because, I don't want Evolution on my computer. When I do 'ps aux | grep evolution' it still lists evolution-data- server, which I thought I don't want or need, because I
