You probabaly don't want to remove a package if other packages that you want depend on it.

Or did I misunderstand your question?

i have two package which depend on each other .
when i try to remove first one dependency on second package is shown.
but when i try to remove second one dependency on first one is shown.
both are mutually related .

What if you remove them at the same time?

How about calling the uninstallation command with both programs at once?

Code:

uninstallation-command package_a package_b
