Rather search the deps of each individual kde meta package. You can't just do a simple deep recursive search, that will find the deps of a package, find the deps of those packages, and the deps of those.... by the time this ends, the command will list probably all of @system and @world -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
