Bug Description
If removing Evolution from the Ubuntu Software Center, the package evolution-common is not removed. This causes two known bugs:
- The "Email Settings" entry in the system preferences menu is not removed. https:/
- Evolution is not removed from the Applications > Office sub-menu.
https:/
For users who remove Evolution through the software center, they are left with two dead menu entries.

Thanks a lot for reporting this, however a papercut is a problem with a package distributed in the default installation of Ubuntu. This bug is not a valid papercut because it involves the removal of default components of Ubuntu, when a papercut should be a problem in the actual use of those components. I have forwarded this to both the Evolution in Ubuntu project and the upstream Evolution project.
