To me this sounds like a peck and shoot method. Keep shooting until you hit something... then see where the thread of "can't remove dependecies" takes you.

I only appeared to have the bundle-kde-ssl installed so just for the heck of it I tried:

dpkg -r bundle-kde-ssl

and that seemed to complete fine, but didn't really affect the fink list- still have all sorts of fink crap.

Also - I tried removing "arts" and one of the errors indicating a dependency was for mplayer. I use mplayer so I don't reallywant to disable that - but it doesn't even appear to me to be a kde app.

So the long and short of this is still.... how can I easily remove all kde elements without destroying my fink installation?
