On my Etch system (from which I have purged all memories of KDE) without recommends, so no amarok-konqsidebar, I still get 3 upgrades and 35 new packages requiring over 49 MB of package files. That is still quite a lot.On Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 11:43:33PM -0500, JoeHill <joehill@teksavvy.com> was heard to say:I'm just not sure why I would have to install kdesktop, kicker, kamera, and konqueror for an app that syncs with my iPod.On lenny/unstable, blame amarok-konqsidebar: If you cancel installing that package (which you don't need unless you run konqueror), you should be able to avoid installing all those KDE packages.
