More packaging issues

[stlsaint]

Guys im really sorry to keep posting this issue but it is getting real persistent and im not really getting any help on it. I dont understand why one package removes entire desktop environments like such. This issue is coming from lintian, qemu, network-manager and others. I just wanted to remove network-manager to fix a issue but i cant cause it removes all this:

Code: Select all

 
stlsaint@devcore:~$ sudo apt-get purge network-manager
[sudo] password for stlsaint:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  knm-runtime* lubuntu-desktop* network-manager* network-manager-gnome*
  network-manager-kde*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 5 to remove and 14 not upgraded.
After this operation, 9,523kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.


This brings me to three total post on this issue and it makes me seem like a jerk to keep posting but something has to give on this! Im using Ultimate Edition 2.7 which i know has other desktop environments installed so do i just need to wait till 3.0 to get pure gnome? But then what about non desktop specific packages such as lintian and qemu?

FYI

Ultimate Edition 3.0 is not pure gnome it has the top 4 added

Ultimate Edition 3.2 is pure gnome thou lol

Other ultimate like offerings exsist that are pure gnome thou.
