I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 with the Gnome desktop. When I installed Gnome, it automatically installed Evolution mail client. I'd like to remove Evolution, but when I try to uninstall it through the Software Center, it wants to remove Gnome-core as well. Is there a way to uninstall Evolution without removing any of the Gnome software?

The
gnome-corepackage is a meta-package. As Evolution is part of 'GNOME' it includes a dependency on theevolutionpackage as well. It is completely safe to removegnome-coreas it won't remove all of GNOME (or any of it, as it's a meta-package).
