More Apt Strangeness

[Luke Davis]

I have two odd things going on with apt.  I am no expert.  Does this look
normal?

mail1:~# apt-get remove exim
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  apache at exim logrotate mailagent mailx mutt
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 7 to remove and 4  not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 7702kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

On another system, I'm getting this:

root at atlas:/etc/apt# apt-get remove exim
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  amanda-common apache at exim logrotate mailx mutt phpmyadmin samba swat
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 10 to remove and 0  not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 15.3MB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Now, I have no desire to remove any of these other packages, and in fact
can't!  All I want to do, is lose exim.

Any thoughts?
