After a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04, installed Sunbird via Add/Remote Programs.  Then attempted to open calendar file that was exported from a Vista Business 32x native install.  After opening calendar file the calendar became corrupt and was prevented from adding new calendars.

Attempted Sunbird uninstall using Add/Remove Applications to remove Sunbird the following dialog box text appears:

"Cannot remove 'sunbird' One or more applications depend on sunbird. To remove sunbird and the dependent applications, use the Synaptic package manager."

Restarted the OS, then tried Add/Remove Programs again and got the same prompt.

Performed library dependency check for sunbird via ldd (output below):

This looks more like an issue with ubuntu's package system/dependencies? Please file the bug on ubuntu's issue tracker.
