[Bug 1433695] [NEW] Removing libcheese breaks Ubuntu 14.04.

 

Public bug reported:

libcheese causes unmet/unmeetable dependencies with other packages I am
trying to install (notably point cloud library). Since all this library
is doing is providing novelty webcam functionality I imagined that
removing it would be simple, and not cripple the entire operating
system. However, from a vanilla reinstall (reinstall required because
removing libcheese made my system unbootable) attempting to remove
libcheese from synaptic gives the following actions to be performed:

account-plugin-aim will be removed
account-plugin-jabber will be removed
account-plugin-salut will be removed
account-plugin-yahoo will be removed
cheese will be removed
empathy will be removed
gnome-contacts will be removed
indicator-bluetooth will be removed
libcheese-gtk23 will be removed
libcheese7 will be removed
mcp-account-manager-uoa will be removed
nautilus-sendto-empathy will be removed
