Re: Uninstalling a package removes other essential packages: What is the best course of action?



Stella (and others)

This is apparently a long standing bug from pango1.0 

Debian bug #565500

and has been outstanding for a decade or so. Thai poses interesting font,
formatting and display properties - if you're not Thai, it doesn't matter
to you, but, as you can see it's fairly well embedded into various
libraries.

It's about as relevant to you as the fact that the Debian installer supports
several languages: if you don't use them in install and set up the locales
they're essentially irrelevant but are there for the convenience of people
who need them.

Hope this helps.

With every good wish, as ever,

Andy Cater
