Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
Currently (KDE 4.6 maverick packports, but in natty its the same) i cannot uninstall akonadi-server w/o also uninstalling plasma-desktop and/or plasma-netbook, which means if i want to run KDE, i _have_ to also run akonadi. I'm running kubuntu on a netbook with 1gb ram, and akonadi-related processes (including special instance of mysql server) take up to 80 megs of ram, which i could use otherwise for kdevelop (I'm KDE developer) or other apps like gimp, firefox, etc. I don't need akonadi (i'm fine with using webmail on a netbook) on such low-end system, but 'sudo apt-get purge akonadi-server' wants also to remove kde-window-manager* kdebase-workspace* kdebase-workspace-bin* plasma-dataengines-workspace* plasma-desktop* plasma-netbook* plasma- widgets-addons* plasma-widgets-workspace* This happens because plasma-netbook depends on plasma-widgets-workspace, and plasma-widgets-workspace depends on akonadi-server. I _can_ uninstall akonadi-server in opensuse 10.4 (to be), so it is 100% possible, plasma-netbook continues to be usable after i killall all akonadi-related processeson my netbook. So please pretty please separate the package into akonadi-dependant and akonadi-independant parts, so that plasma-netbook could hard-depend on the second one, and recommend the first one, and default installation of akonadi would still be handled by kubuntu-desktop metapackage ** Affects: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/710968 Title: separate akonadi-dependant plugins into another package -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
