mod_passenger cannot be uninstalled via EasyApache when ea-nginx is installed

Symptoms

Deselecting ea-ruby27-mod_passenger in EasyApache 4 doesn't mark the package for removal.

Description

ea-ruby27-mod_passenger is required by ea-nginx, so it cannot be removed without first removing ea-nginx. However, EasyApache doesn't provide any indication of this.

We've opened an internal case for our development team to investigate this further. For reference, the case number is CPANEL-40613. Follow this article to receive an email notification when a solution is published in the product. 

Workaround

Remove ea-nginx, then remove ea-ruby27-mod_passenger.
