Public bug reported:
Muon Package Manager: 1.3.0 in Kubuntu 12.04 amd64.
I'm running KDE 4.8.1, so I thought I would not need libqt4-qt3support.
`aptitude why` suggested it's only needed by libkopete4 and kopete that
I don't use, so I used Muon Package Manager to remove them.
When I then tried to "Mark for Removal" libqt4-qt3support in Muon, I get an
alert:
Unable to Mark Packages - Muon Package Manager
The "libqt4-qt3support" package could not be marked for installation or
upgrade:
[blank]
1. I'm marking the package for removal, not "installation or upgrade".
2. The trailing colon makes it look as if there should be some reason following
it, but nothing is shown.
It turns out there are a lot of packages besides kopete that need
libqt4-qt3support
% sudo dpkg --remove --dry-run libqt4-qt3support

I don't know if muon is trying to give me this info in the alert.
