I removed libcamel because it was described as MIME handler for Evolution. However on reboot my Ubuntu install was annoyingly broken!! After some investigation it seems that removing libcamel also removes the ubuntu-desktop package! Im very annoyed that this bug is still here and nobody has reported it or discovered it. In the following thread I vented my frustration on this issue and included a screenshot of what it tells you will be removed. The ubuntu- desktop package is not listed. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1607443 However I want a very, very obvious warning dialog to show up if ubuntu- desktop or any important system packages are going to be removed. This is essential to stop new Ubuntu users from easily breaking their own Ubuntu installation!
