Since I upgraded to Kubuntu 14.04, I have seen that Muon refuses to uninstall/purge packages without justification. The error message is:

"The -pack- package could not be marked for installation or upgrade"

Synaptic is able to remove said packages just fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open muon and select a mark of packages for uninstall/purge. One of the following examples may work for you: kdepimlibs-kio-plugins, kdevelop-l10n, kdevelop-php-l10n, gnuplot-qt, uno-libs3. The error message should appear.
2. Close muon and run synaptic.
3. Mark the package for removal/purge.
Actual Results:
Muon fails to mark the packages for removal/purge, while Synaptic marks them.

Expected Results:
Muon to resolve dependencies and ask me whether I want to uninstall dependencies as well.
