Removing kde packages

[lostbear@softhome.net]

Hi,da   I tried removing some packages of kde that I don't want on my 
system.dalike kab and karm. However dpkg --purge tells me that there is daa 
dependency problem. apt-get remove kab shows that it is removing kde 
too.daapt-cache kde shows that it is a meta package containing 
dependencies.dadaI can't quite figure out why kab and karm that are invidual 
applicationsdashould have some other metapackage depending on it.daI guess I 
can force the removal but I don't want to break my system.daI would 
appreciate some suggestions on this.dathank you daregardsdaHarshu.
