[Y/n/q/?] ----- In my opinion, because of the optional nature of kdeedu package, it should not depend on kde and kde-amusement during its installation of removal. The issue happens because kde-amusements depends on kdeedu, which in turn kde depends on kde-amusements. That is why to remove kdeedu, the system ask confirmation to remove kde as well. Removing the dependency will help modularizing KDE packages in Debian, which currently looks not. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=ms_MY.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ms_MY.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kdeedu depends on: ii blinken 4:3.5.5-1 KDE version of the Simon Says elec ii indi 4:3.5.5-1 Instrument Neutral Distributed Int ii kalzium 4:3.5.5-1 chemistry teaching tool for KDE ii kanagram 4:3.5.5-1 letter order game for KDE ii kbruch 4:3.5.5-1 fraction calculation teaching tool ii kdeedu-data 4:3.5.5-1 shared data for KDE educational ap ii keduca 4:3.5.5-1 interactive form-based tests for K ii khangman 4:3.5.5-1 the classical hangman game for KDE ii kig 4:3.5.5-1 interactive geometry program for K ii kiten 4:3.5.5-1 Japanese reference/study tool for ii klatin 4:3.5.5-1 application to help revise/teach L ii klettres 4:3.5.5-1 foreign alphabet tutor for KDE ii kmplot 4:3.5.5-1 mathematical function plotter for ii kpercentage 4:3.5.5-1 percentage calculation teaching to ii kstars 4:3.5.5-1 desktop planetarium for KDE ii ktouch 4:3.5.5-1 touch typing tutor for KDE ii kturtle 4:3.5.5-1 educational Logo programming envir ii kverbos 4:3.5.5-1 Spanish verb form study applicatio ii kvoctrain 4:3.5.5-1 vocabulary trainer for KDE ii kwordquiz 4:3.5.5-1 flashcard and vocabulary learning kdeedu recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
