Package: Kmail
Version: 1.13.7
KDE Version: 4.8.4
I used apt-get to remove Kmail from my system ( sudo apt-get remove
kmail ). The system then told me that there are plenty of 'unused'
packages, which I haven't seen before. this is the console transcript in
german, I hope it makes sense to the reader, but it would cause even
more confusion to translate it back to englisch imho.

Since I was pretty scared when I saw that xorg has been due to removal,
I tried to install 'reportbug', this time via aptitude, which urged me
to remove even more packages, note that the first list ended with 'xorg':

As a solution, I manually installed some of the packages that where to
be removed, now it seems to me like my system is ok again, aptitude
doesn't show any packages to be removed, however I did not reboot yet.
These are the packages that I reinstalled manually ( via apt-get install ):
