#408344 bug408344: removing kdeedu package should not remove kde

["Sharuzzaman Ahmat Raslan" <sharuzzaman@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

Because Etch have been released as stable, and I'm already using lenny, I think this is a good time to discuss about this bug.

Please visit the URL below:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=408344

When I first install KDE, I use the command apt-get install kde, where the dependency requirement will automatically install all the required packages.

Looking at KDE package information, kde depends on kde-amusements and kde-amusements depends on kdeedu

Thus removing kdeedu will break kde-amusements. To satisfy the dependency, kde-amusements must be removed, but it will break kde. Removing kde will remove everything.

I'm not sure how to resolve this issue, but having a forward dependency, but not backward might solve this issue.

Ideas welcomed.

Thanks.
