I am running Ubuntu 12.04. When I try to remove file-roller (the built-in "Archive Manager" app) from my system as I now use ark (using Synaptic Package Manager), it asks me to also remove ubuntu-desktop (which I assume is the Unity DE).



I don't want to uninstall Unity from my system, so how do I go about removing this, whilst keeping Unity installed?

You can safely remove ubuntu-desktop as it is a meta-package, and does not provide any actual content. It only depends/recommends other packages. Removing it will not remove Unity or other features.
