Removal of KDE
Hi,
I just stumbled with installing KDE 3.1. Just inserting the apt.sources line
and running apt-get dist-upgrade was way too brutal for apt to handle. While
clearing up all the mess (I hadn't done a dist-upgrade for some time and apt
downloaded more than 300 packages, also trying to upgrade my KDE 3.0.3
version.) I deinstalled all my KDE packages by typing apt-get remove kdelibs,
getting a looong list of unmet dependancies and building a long apt-get
remove line. Then I installed kde-3.1 and it worked. But removing those
packages was really a pain...
Reading apt-get's manpage I found no option to remove the given package and
all packages depending on that. Does such a thing exist?
Something like "apt-get --with-all-depending-packages kdelibs" would be a
great help.
(This should be at least loosely related to debian-kde as it is for removing
KDE.)
