Nothing should depend on kdelibs. I would consider it a bug if it did.

Removal of KDE
Hi, I just stumbled with installing KDE 3.1. Just inserting the apt.sources line and running apt-get dist-upgrade was way too brutal for apt to handle. While clearing up all the mess (I hadn't done a dist-upgrade for some time and apt downloaded more than 300 packages, also trying to upgrade my KDE 3.0.3 version.) I deinstalled all my KDE packages by typing apt-get remove kdelibs, getting a looong list of unmet dependancies and building a long apt-get remove line. Then I installed kde-3.1 and it worked. But removing those packages was really a pain... Reading apt-get's manpage I found no option to remove the given package and all packages depending on that. Does such a thing exist? Something like "apt-get --with-all-depending-packages kdelibs" would be a great help. (This should be at least loosely related to debian-kde as it is for removing KDE.) -- - Thomas Ritter
