Is this related?:
Last time I did an upgrade (from aptitude, last week) it offered to remove a
huge number of packages for me, almost all of them related to KDE.
Apparently some package that depended on all of them was no longer
present. Indeed, I could not find a package called simply "kde", which
I presumed would be the name of the virtual package that hauls in the
KDE components. I hand-included packages until the proposed deletions
were gone, and had no ill effects.
Was there indeed supposed to be a package "kde"? or soething that fulfills
the same role? And did it disappear?
