That's what I thought too - and it was true the first few times. Like, it'd say its removing kubuntu desktop but it'd be all fine. So then I removed kaffiene and keb too, and each time it listed more and more packages as being removed. I guess once kubuntu-desktop has been removed, it believes that all the packages inside kubuntu-desktop are no longer necessary. So each time if I remove 2 or 3 things like kaffiene and keb it will uninstall the entirety of KDE. This is on the latest feisty btw. And I tested it via the 'add or remove programs' graphical UI and it had the same result. In other words I can screw up this system (recoverably, if you're not a newbie user, but I dont like to make that assumption) just by removing things like keb and amarok via the 'add or remove programs' gui. -- 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
