Running that showed me
ii synaptic 0.70~pre1+b1 Graphical package manager
No packages found matching ssft.
No packages found matching squeak-vm.
Removing synaptic and then running apt-get autoremove in fact removed
kdebase-bin along with 6 other packages; so you're right, and I just
have to figure out more of those recommends to remove all the packages
that were installed because of my temporary install of kdm. (I may
write a script/program some time to figure out the whole network and
point out only-recommended packages, if there's no way to "force"
autoremove to remove those.)
Thanks,
Christian.
