When removing Transmission, it says:
To remove Transmission BitTorrent Client, these items must be removed as well: Ubuntu mate - full desktop.
What does this mean? Will the whole Ubuntu MATE be uninstalled or just a part of the MATE desktop?
Running Ubuntu MATE 15.04.
EDIT: apt-get remove --simulate transmission-gtk

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
Remv ubuntu-mate-desktop [1.124]
Remv transmission-gtk [2.84-0.2ubuntu1]
sudo dpkg -r --force-all transmission-gtk
to be safe. That should not remove other dependant packages.dpkg -r --force-all
should remove transmission without removing other programs that it depends on, so if you are concerned removing a package could break something, this may be a good approach.
