kubuntu-desktop is a meta-package anyway so removing it wont affect your system at all. But its still a problem that apt-get doesnt know how to handle dependencies correctly. As a temporary solution, I would tell you to use aptitude, which works perfectly on my system (ubuntu-desktop) and which is supposed to be the new generation apt tool :) iKs. -- 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
