Use the following command to remove the package:

./lib/python/safe_remove_package.py --os-releases=SunOS5.9,… -c

I probably wrote this script, today I remember almost nothing about it, but
I guess it checks that removing the package in question will not create
dangling dependencies.

Don't take decisions out of fear. If it's not correct, make it right! If
you run into trouble, we'll look at it together again.
