At least in my case this is simply not true. I did use update-manager and did agree to remove all absolute packages. There are other reports above which say the same. But the responsible people seem not to believe in this and continue to state that we must have done something wrong, because they can't reproduce the problem. ;-) It obviously does work in the standard test cases but it looks like that under certain circumstances evms does not get removed although it should.

The common denominator _seems_ to be that all those systems started with an earlier version than feisty.
