Hmm ...

Did *you* install that software?

I doubt it.

But try asking aptitude:

[code]
~$ aptitude why ejabberd
Not currently installed
The candidate version 18.12.1-2 has priority optional
No dependencies require to install ejabberd
~$
[/code]

As you can see I don't have it in *my* box.
Nor can I think of a vslid reason to have it. (ymmv)

No priority or dependencies.
So ...

Best,
