These are dependencies.
It is not an error.
The package can't be deinstalled because other packages rely on it.
You have to remove the listed packages too.
Otherwise dont remove 7.2, instead 'upgrade' to 7.3 I think it was -U,
but I'm not sure because I switched from Mandrake to Debian a while ago.
