Re: What's the best way to safely remove kde apps?

The difficulty is that rather than "suggests" or "recommends", the KDE 
global metapackage(s) "depends" on many of the unnecessary KDE 
applications not just the real core apps, and the core apps "depends" 
on the metapackage.

That's why the attempt to remove the application caused such a cascade 
of removals. I do not believe that aptitude is going to make any 
functional difference. Until we can urge a change in the dependency 
levels, I believe this question will come up over and over again.
