Running Debian Jessie on a non-critical system at home. Wanted to use xine-ui instead of vlc as a video player, since there appeared to be some sort of conflict.
Ran aptitude -y purge vlc to do the obvious. 116 packages were removed, most of the core of KDE. Why were so many other packages dependent on vlc? 116 removals just to get rid of one package is quite alot! I have the complete aptitude purge log in a file on disk so the names are readily available, but, there must be a more efficient way to reinstall the 116 packages. Is there a KDE meta-package that will install the majority of KDE that was removed? Keith
