installing freeglut3-dev would remove lots of GUI related packages
I am trying to install freeglut3-dev in my Ubuntu 12.04.4 installation.
When I try to install it via command line apt says that a lot of packages would be removed when I continued.
To be more accurate:
$ sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
x11-apps x11-session-utils x11-xfs-utils xinit libfs6
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

libgl1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-

I am not sure if all programs that would be removed are needed, but I am sure that xorg should not be removed.
How can I install freeglut3-dev without removing those programs?
