Bug Description
Binary package hint: scrollkeeper
In order to remove scrollkeeper I am informed by apt-get that the following must also be removed:
alacarte apturl bug-buddy capplets-data doc-base fast-user-
gedit gnome-app-install gnome-applets gnome-applets-data
gnome-
gnome-
gucharmap language-selector nautilus nautilus-cd-burner nautilus-data
restricted-
ubuntu-docs update-manager update-notifier zenity
So I have to remove update-manager as well ??? gedit ??? gnome ????
This can't be right - I shouldn't be forced to have this package on my system if I don't want it.
The only way I can stop this thing is to delete the cron.monthly task - if I was your average Aunt Matilda, I wouldn't have a clue how to do this, I would only experience my hard drive being hammered once a month as this thing indexes my hdd for me

I can confirm this on gutsy (and basically any Debian-based distribution I used in the last 5 years), and I can't remember a single time where I used scrollkeeper or its database (I use the help system so seldom that a slower on-demand indexing would suffice). The only effect I see is a cronjob sometimes eating cpu and I/O, and 20MB used under /var.
