Package: kmilo
Version: 4:3.2.2-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
DETAILS OF ERROR
kmilo is for certain types of Sony laptops whereas on others it causes the system to malfunction.
Sony PCG-GRT100: kmilo queries the status of the battery upon kde startup which causes the network
interface/card to lock up. As a result, subsequent attempts to use network (eth0) cause NETDEV WATCHDOG
mesages in the log:
Sep 14 11:47:22 mobile kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Sep 14 11:47:22 mobile kernel: eth0: Transmit timeout, status 00000000 00000260
The network appears to be locked, and can be made to work only upon reboot.
ping to the laptop from outside also ceases to work (comments [] are mine):

FINDINGS
kmilo is listed as one of the packages kde depends on. Removing kmilo causes deinstallation of major part of kde.
Manual removal of the kmilo files causes no apparent disfunctionallity of the rest of kde.
Including acpi=off (pci=noacpi or similar) as kernel parameters causes no effect.
TO RESOLVE
remove kmilo from list of packages kde depends on, so that kmilo could be installed/deinstalled independently
without causing problems with other kde dependencies.
