Installation of unity-tweak-tool

Asked by William Pabon

Hi:
When I try to install the unity-tweak-tool, synaptic package manager shows me a huge amount of apps an libraries that need to be removed (See picture below for a sample)

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_ZOUN6JcLCXbkFPNWxHbkVfWmc

I obviously cancelled the installation since I normally use many of the apps that are bound to be removed. Is there a solution for this? Thanks.

If you use:

sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

Does it offer to remove lots of packages? Obviously abort the installation if this is the case.

I just found out that this question is a repetition one I posted a few months ago (Question 433070 ). I'm very sorry for using your time in something that was previously answered. Consider this question solved. Thanks.
