Is this related?: Last time I did an upgrade (from aptitude, last week) it offered to remove a huge number of packages for me, almost all of them related to KDE. Apparently some package that depended on all of them was no longer present. Indeed, I could not find a package called simply "kde", which I presumed would be the name of the virtual package that hauls in the KDE components. I hand-included packages until the proposed deletions were gone, and had no ill effects. Was there indeed supposed to be a package "kde"? or soething that fulfills the same role? And did it disappear? -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
