[packagekit] PackageKit tries to remove a bazillion dependencies

I said I wanted to upgrade. By definition that implies that I want to
remove the older version. What is "wrong" with that?

So you mean that all those other applications PackageIt wants to remove
have a hardcoded dependency on mysql client v15 specifically and will not
gracefully pick up v16 libraries if I upgrade? That doesn't seem very
sensible.

The list of things it wanted to remove was highly suspect anyway. Why
would it, e.g., remove kde-window-manager: what the heck does a window
manager have to do with a MySQL??? Same for MySQL Server: why should
the server be removed because one of its client is???
