I just gave this a test. I installed kubuntu-desktop: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
I waited until it was all done I removed amarok: sudo apt-get remove amarok. It offered to remove kubuntu-desktop for me. I told it 'uh, ok' and boom, all gone. Its not even listed under 'atuomatically installed'. It says "The following packages will be REMOVED:" and lists kubuntu-desktop under there! This is after already deleting the extended_states file as mentioned here. Thank goodness that this time I had ubuntu desktop installed as a backup... -- apt wants to auto-remove all my system!!! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
