Removing and reinstalling all KDE packages

[Marco Paolieri]

I got caught in a broken install during a dist-upgrade in sid (I knew the
risks, no complaints).
Is it possible to remove (from the CTRL-ALT-F1 login terminal) all KDE
related packages and then reinstall KDE? (I suspect the problem is there.)

I include my output in case it's useful to describe the situation.

*sudo apt-check*

Remove libkf5ldap5 and try again.

Also, when you are asking for help, consider running your commands with

Is there a different way I should remove the libkf5ldap5 package?

Try dpkg -r. Though if something depends on it, and it probably does,
you'll need either ask dpkg to ignore deps, or remove all deps too.

Re: Removing and reinstalling all KDE packages

[Marco Paolieri]

Thanks!

I kept adding the dependencies to the command line, and this worked:

$ LANG=C sudo dpkg -r libkf5ldap5 libkf5libkdepim-plugins
libkf5libkdepim-plugins libkf5mailimporter5  libkf5libkdepim-plugins
 kontact  libkf5mailimporterakonadi5
Package libkf5libkdepim-plugins:amd64 listed more than once, only
processing once.
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove kontact, only the config

 /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-ty8ZSt/00-mysql-server-5.7_5.7.26-1+b1_amd64.deb

So, I did:
$ LANG=C sudo dpkg -r mysql-server-5.7 mysql-server
(Reading database ... 494493 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing mysql-server (5.7.26-1) ...
dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-5.7 (--remove):
 package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
 reinstall it before attempting a removal
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mysql-server-5.7

Tried to force it:
$ LANG=C sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq mysql-server-5.7
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:
