Mplayer does indeed depend on arts: Package: mplayer Version: 0.90rc2 Revision: 1 Depends: libdvdread-shlibs, libfame-shlibs, lame, ffmpeg, pth, x11, gtk+-shlibs, glib-shlibs, libpng3-shlibs, aalib-shlibs (>= 1.4rc5-2), sdl-shlibs, libogg-shl ibs, libvorbis0-shlibs, mad-shlibs, lame-shlibs, libdnet-shlibs, lynx (>= 2.8.4- 2) | lynx-ssl (>= 2.8.4-2), libdv-shlibs, arts (>= 1.1.0-2), mplayer-font, mplay er-skin-default
One option would be to use Fink Commander, because you could then highlight everything (except arts) in the kde section and uninstall it. -- Alexander K.
