With dpkg, exactly what you need to remove isn't clear, but the tip is this:
1. first try "dpkg -r kdebase3" or whatever you like without
"--ignore-depends" option. This gives you a lot of dependency warnings
2. Add all the packages to kdebase3. This should eventually exhaust the list.
Good luck

Thanks for the response. What exactly would I use for the "XXX" listed
in your command for removing KDE? Previously I was instructed to remove
the "arts" pkg with the theory that everything depends on that thus
everything would be removed. I would like to remove all KDE elements
and have my fink install as clean as possible pertaining to kde.

From: Kow K Date: 1/22/03, 11:22 -0800 Subject: Re: [Fink-users] Removing KDETo remove packages XXX forcefully, do the following: dpkg -r --ignore-depends XXX See "man dpkg" for more detail. "dpkg --purge" was near, but not exact. ;-) Basically, KDE is provided via a few meta-packages like: bundle-kde kdebase3 kdeutils3 So, you don't need to select all programs to remove. A few comments on KDE in general: 1. You don't need to commit installing all stuff of KDE using bundle-kde. The core of KDE is kdebase3. 2. It is true that KDE is kind of slow, but the built of 3.1 againt Dec 02 Dev Tools is much faster and snappier than before.------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Scholarships for Techies!
