Don't allow uninstall of a package if... #47

Closed fredcw closed 2 years ago

...it has dependents (reverse dependencies). Also when removing a package, also remove its autoremovable dependencies. Fix depreciation warnings in call to Gtk.MessageDialog.

This is to prevent the accidental removal of meta packages by inexperienced users.

What application are you testing it with?

I'm marking this as Next because it introduces new translation msgids.

I assume this script is only used by the applets: menu applet, mintmenu, cinnVIIstarkMenu and cinnamenu and I've tested it on each. If you mean what apps have I uninstalled, I tried a few apps including vlc, gimp, inkscape.

Sorry, this PR assumes apt-get output will be in english, I need to fix this. It won't find the autoremovable packages in other languages.

I fixed the language issue with apt-get. I also created a new PR because this one got a bit messy. #48
