Title:
  software center can remove essential packages (like gnome-session)
  without notifying

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in software-center source package in Lucid:
  Won't Fix
Status in software-center source package in Maverick:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  The package evolution-dataserver has other packages that depend on it:
  gnome-panel, gnome-session etc. When removing the package in software-
  center, the software-center does not notify about removing these
  packages, nor does it disallow removing them. Thus the end result of
  removing this is a "naked" x session with only xterm after the
  restart.
