remove openoffice, kde, gnome, and konqueror at least the first three of
which are common targets.

 apt-get install kvdr

This bugreport unfortunately lacks an considerably amount of detail to
be actionable, especially now 7 years after the fact, but given that KDE
and GNOME have a high popcon count I presume it isn't removed for
everyone all the time…

So given that this is unreproducible (and hopefully fixed in the
meantime) I am closing this bugreport, but if this is still reproducible
feel free to reopen it of course!


Best regards
