No, it doesn't. 'kde' is just a metapackage; it contains nothing but dependencies on the real bits of KDE. If you want to remove one of those bits (since kpackage depends on rpm), then there's absolutely nothing wrong with removing the kde metapackage. See 'dpkg -p kde'. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
