Comment 8 for bug 231208

In Lucid alpha 2:

$ apt-cache rdepends evolution
evolution

Judging by the rdepends, removing evolution would cause a lot of problems. A lot of other packages, as seen above, whether correct or not, depend on this. I am not sure if the intention is to keep evolution as part of Ubuntu for the sake of newer users, but this is the way it is. I will mark this as Wishlist and change the title accordingly.
Thank you.
