'rm -rf /' will work fine next time you try it givenm you are root)

What if you have a package called 'hookdesktop' ? It will be removed by
the first command.

What if you have some files conflicts?You will end up deleting some files!

--forcve is dangerous, and should not be used unneededly.

even --nodeps is sometimes dangarous bacaussse you may forget a library or
two qt? lesstiff?, whatever), and you end up with all the KDDDE binaries
unable to load (read: your desktop crashes)

BTW: --force implies --nodeps
