Completely normal. kde Depends on kdeaddons; kdeaddons Depends on noatun-plugins; noatun-plugins Depends on noatun. Of course, the kde package is not much (if any) more than a "meta-package"; it only exists to pull in other dependencies. The kdeaddons package is similar. I run KDE and don't have either installed, instead I install the parts of KDE I want without the stuff I consider "cruft": kontact, kget, kwalletmanager, kmail, akregator, konqueror, knoqueror-nsplugins, konsole, *kfile*, *kio*, kgpg, klipper, kicker, kompare, kdiff3, kcachegrind, kcalc, kmahjongg, kshisen. Their dependencies, plus those of the KDE applications I use that aren't part of KDE: konversation, amarok, karbon, krita (actually, those last two might be part of KDE...) pull in the Depends/Recommends/Suggests they need and I have a system that just works. There's probably a few packages I left out, but that's most of them. Sometimes I'll even go whole-hog and pull in kdevelop and quanta, but I use (g)vim for most of that. For people trying KDE for the first time or the first time in a long time, I do recommend installing the kde package -- it'll pull in everything the KDE project thinks should be part of KDE and give you a "full" experience. If you find KDE suits you, I recommend only installing the applications you use. It saves download time and disk space, can save memory footprint, and might even make upgrading easier. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
