[Bug 1005522] Re: Uninstalling Gwibber using Software Centre only removes the client

 

Reopening as I think this problem raises an additional problem:

If Gwibber is uninstalled from the Software Centre and a user signed
into Twitter receives a direct message then the indicator turns blue
with no way to address it. As Gwibber is not installed the direct
message cannot be viewed.

Ideally, removing the client should remove the service. This was tested
in Ubuntu 12.04

Title:
  Uninstalling Gwibber using Software Centre only removes the client

Status in Gwibber:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Users wishing to uninstall Gwibber from their systems using Software
  Centre will search for Gwibber and click uninstall, expecting that to
  be sufficient to completely remove Gwibber and its plugins from their
  systems.  Unfortunately, only the client will be removed and gwibber-
  service and any plugins installed will not be.

  See http://askubuntu.com/questions/137580/gwibber-service-facebook-
  twitter-etc-updates-while-gwibber-is-unistalled/139365 for a typical
  user's expectations
