Question #76295 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76295

TSWMIN85 posted a new comment:
It's not the GNOME from the distribution CD, I did install it manually after
uninstalling EVOLUTION caused it to be uninstalled. when I tried the
uninstalls I tried them first in Synaptic Package Manager then in
terminal...

I commanded:

sudo apt-get remove (program name here.)

Here's an example:

jonathan@David:~$ sudo apt-get remove evolution
[sudo] password for jonathan:
Sorry, try again.
