Evenin' all, A recent dist-upgrade on my sid box sucked in a lot of stuff which I didn't want so I have turfed a lot of it out except for 1 package which is so settled in it just doesn't want to go away.
On trying to delete it, I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get remove plptools-kde Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

At least, how can I get rid of this thing? I don't have a Psion PDA, don't wan't a Psion PDA, and if this is the way the software to support them generally behaves, will never get a bloody Psion PDA. -- David Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
