Sorry  my fault, I meant  /usr/bin/kpsewhich (the standalone path lookup
for kpathsea). I don't know exactly what is it for but it is part of the
tetex-bin package.  I  didn't  keep the logs.    When I tried  to remove
lilypond-data, I had dpkg issuing an error saying that /usr/bin/kpsewich
was not  present on the   system and exiting.   I  therefore deduce that
lilypond needs kpsewhich to be desinstalled.

Why one couldn't  do that? The question is  not removing it or not.  The
question  is  if  you   happen to    remove tetex-bin    (with  apt  not
manually). Then lilypond-data is no more uninstallable.

But to come back to your  question I add to uninstall  all my tex system
on my machine because of some upgrade complications. I was very in hurry
and  the quickest thing  that I  find was to   uninstall and reinstall a
clean version of tetex  (the problem was with the  font maps being moved
in an other  location (namely under /usr/share/texmf/fonts/map). The old
location  was not removed (can't remember  the  exact location) and this
was messing. To be more precise I has errors of this type:

!!! ERROR: The right location for map files has been
    changed for this release and the map file `dvips35.map' has
    not been found in the right location, but in the obsolete
    location
      /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/dvips35.map
    instead.

    To fix this, please move this file into an appropriate
    subdirectory of fonts/map in one of your texmf trees. If 
    the file has been installed by a Debian package, please do
    not move it. Instead, please report a bug against that package,
    and send a copy of that bug to 

    debian-tetex-maint@lists.debian.org

    For more information about the changed search paths, see
    the release notes section in the teTeX manual. You probably
    can read this document by executing the command
      texdoc TETEXDOC
    else visit the web page
      http://tug.org/texlive/mapenc.html

and this for ~10 maps. As explained before, I was in hurry, didn't want
to mess my system by hand and I thought that the easiest thing to do was
a fresh install.

As explained before, dpkg is looking  for /usr/bin/kpsewhich, don't find
it and exit (sorry again I don't have the logs).

BTW, this was just for the bug report. I don't need  support as I manage
to uninstall  lilypond-data (reinstalling  tetex-bin  after removing  by
hand the faulty maps).


Best and thank you for your work,
damien
