sudo apt-get remove cheese
This will remove just the cheese package itself. I.e it does not remove any other packages unless you opt to.
Both libcheese7
and libcheese-gtk23
depend on cheese-common
, and both unity-control-center
and gnome-control-center
(among other things) depend on those two libraries. I would say the control center(s) are required, so you were right in bringing this question up.
In short, you can't remove cheese-common
in Ubuntu 14.04 without effectively breaking your system.
apt-get purge <PACKAGE_NAME> -s
first to see what packages will be removed. This will tell you that the cheese
package itself is all you can safely remove.
