Public bug reported:
The exact command I executed was "debian-builder --help". In fact, I
cancelled the process as soon as I realised what was going on. The
command showed me several packages names (I suppose all installed on my
PC) and started to remove (also conffiles) all of them alphabetically. I
stopped it with Ctrl+C, then had to configure all of them and finally
install those which had been purged.
I had no real consequences (after all), but I don't know what the
command tried to do. Also, I was just looking how to use the package,
since I didn't know it.
Later I will include the exact package version, as I am now at work. I
have Kubuntu 7.10 up to date.
