I have Raspberry Pi 3 running Ubuntu Mate 16.04.
I'd like to uninstall all the crap I don't need, and among the first candidates is LibreOffice. However, when I try to uninstall LibreOffice, I'm warned that this would also uninstall ubuntu-mate-desktop:
sudo apt-get remove libreoffice-calc
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libreoffice-calc ubuntu-mate-desktop
I believe I do want to in fact keep ubuntu-mate-desktop.
I'm getting the same message when trying to remove other packages I don't need/want (e.g. caja-wallpaper).
Why is this? How do I correctly uninstall LibreOffice (and other software/packages)?
