Is libsqlite3-0 installed by default?

Question

I'd like to know if libsqlite3-0 is installed by default, or if it is installed when running apt-get install phpmyadmin.

I am currently running Ubuntu 16.04

I'd like to know what it is and why I can't uninstall it.

Answer 1

libsqlite3-0 is present in both Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 14.04.4 ISOs, and most packages from the ISO are retained on installation.

apt-cache rdepends libsqlite3-0 lists a lot of packages, including gnome-software, ubuntu-core-libs, unity-scope-click, shotwell, etc.

So, yes, it is installed by default.
