So you want to install ALL kde-l10n packages but you can't afford to install aptitude? What happened to using the right tool for the job? Even if you don't want to use aptitude for installation of packages, just use `aptitude search - F%p ....` to get the list of packages and feed it wherever you want. And why do you need to remove it afterwards? It's not malicious and it's a tiny bit in comparison with what you're installing here. FWIW, I did my best to suggest a solution. I'm sorry, that aptitude is not an option for you for whatever the reason, but original request remains wontfix. As I said in the previous mail, I view kde-l10n-all package as bad practice in general. I simply don't want it to be in the archive (i.e. too easily accessible) in order to reduce very HUGE [1] (even -dbg packages are smaller) unintentional bloat on user systems. I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned, your arguments do not overweight my considerations against this metapackage.
