Did anybody succeed in uninstalling the "cherry" package completely, such as by "apt-get purge cherry"?
I am a bit hesitant to do that as once I execute the command, apt-get tells me that many packages will no longer be required, including some libqt4 packages and even mplayer...

As well as many, who expressed their concern with this package, which was mysteriously included by Nokia, I am also a bit frustrated, to say the least. Just imagining the scamming possibilities of this package makes me shudder... There are way too many scams, like "send SMS to this number to win the prize", which empty people's accounts in a matter of seconds. And here we go - an automatic SMS sending machine...
I really hope that these Urho Konttori and Alban Crequy do understand the consequences of such mindless coding...
