Trying to remove the KDE suite gently, i.e., without breaking dependencies, I finally got down to:
koffice-common depends on karbon. ... karbon depends on koffice-common (>= 1.2.90-4).
KOffice needs serious work... but for obvious reasons I haven't had much time to do "new" development. Add on top of that that there's a new release coming...
Anyways, how are you removing it?
Continuing on the idea of doing as little violence, i.e., braking as few dependencies, as possible, I wrote a couple of Bash scripts to print the names of the (remaining) installed KDE packages, then to loop through the list and attempt 'fink remove' on each. (I did it this way rather than with a single glob, so that failure to remove a package wouldn't stop the whole script.) I picked off a few ones that didn't depend on anything else this way with each iteration, until finally there were only six left. At that point I did su, then dpkg -r --force-all karbon, after which I was able to go back to my Bash scripts and finish removing the rest. (I'm immensely flattered that you ask, BTW.)
