Manually installed applications, or applications marked as such, are (at least with aptitude) treated differently. > So only akonadi-server* kaddressbook* kde-standard* kdepim-runtime* > kmail* knotes* korganizer* task-kde-desktop* will be gone effectively? When you installed task-kde-desktop, that installs 'the whole bunch' and apparently several of them you don't want. All the parts were automatically installed, so removing one would remove task-kde-desktop which removes them all again. So by choosing (i.e. explicitly installing (thus 'manually')) a narrower focused meta package and/or marking the applications that you do want as manually installed, then removing task-kde-desktop (or kmail f.e.) will not remove the whole bunch. > Shouldn't I have task-kde-desktop installed to track all packages > required by entire KDE? So my Testing system evolves with changing deps? You don't want to have all packages that are part of task-kde-desktop, so that (meta) package was the wrong choice for you. Each application *should* have their own (versioned) dependencies, so you don't need task-kde-desktop for that. It's not always 100% smooth though, but that's the consequence of running Testing. Often when 'disruptions' are expected, someone posts a message to this list saying so. Technically speaking they are bugs that should be fixed. HTH, Diederik
