Total erasing of Evolution = return to terminal

Since I have been using this software for a good number of years, I have had time to form an opinion.

Wow, that’s quite a surprise! It’s a good reminder of how careful you need to be when removing packages with Synaptic, especially something as integrated as Evolution. Breaking a dependency can sometimes take out essential components, like your graphical interface, leaving you in the terminal. Always worth double-checking what other packages might be affected before confirming the removal or testing in a virtual environment first if possible!

Just looked at Stacer on my Q4OS install. Notice if I mark just 'Evolution' for removal, that is all Stacer will remove - not the other dependencies below it.
