remove-essential


Removal of essential packages is not recommended because these packages are required for the proper operation of the system and removing them may break the system. In some rare cases, like the name change of a package, or the replacement of functionality by privately built software, it becomes necessary to remove one of these packages. This force option will allow that removal to proceed.
