I can confirm that this is the case. It seems that there is a chain of dependencies here.
sudo apt-cache depends kcontrol | grep kicker Depends: kicker shows that kcontrol does actually depend on kicker. Equally: sudo apt-cache depends kde-systemsettings | grep kcontrol Depends: kcontrol shows that kde-systemsettings depends on kcontrol and sudo apt-cache depends konqueror | grep kcontrol Depends: kcontrol shows that konqueror also depends on kcontrol. I haven't checked but I would guess that the other packages depend on konqueror. So it seems that kicker is used for more than just the kde panel. This might be a bug but it looks more like it is intentional ** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- kicker has invalid dependencies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
