Comment 27 for bug 438365

It's disappointing that such decisions, well-meaning as they are, wind up breaking other pcakges that, even still, are available in repos. Software Center doesn't properly inform the user what is broken when they try to install such a package, only that there is a problem they need to fix. And when trying to install multiple packages, Software Center doesn't advise the user which package failed, an unfortunate situation for the average user.

I hope the decision to remove this package is reconsidered, or at least completed so that Ubuntu isn't left in a broken state, however slight.
