Description Serhiy Zahoriya 2013-10-30 04:18:21 UTC 
I don't use kmail and would like to purge it on my netbook since I want as much free space as possible. However I use akregator and korganizer and don't want to remove them along with kmail but they depend on it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try removing kmail package on Kubuntu:
sudo apt-get purge kmail
Actual Results:  
It removes 

akregator* kaddressbook* kdepim-kresources* kmail* knotes* kontact*
korganizer* libeventviews4* libincidenceeditorsng4* libkdepim4*
libksieveui4* libmailcommon4* libmailimporter4* libmessagecomposer4*
libmessageviewer4* libpimcommon4* libtemplateparser4*

along with kmail.

Expected Results:  
kmail deleted and akregator/korganizer untouched

I'm sure you can use akregator without kmail . Please report this downstream packaging issue to (k)ubuntu developers.
