Public bug reported:
Starting with an Ubuntu system you install kubuntu-dekstop, e.g., using
the command
sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
you then try out kde and decide you wish to uninstall it, so you try
removing what you installed, i.e., you use the command
sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop
or even maybe a purge command, i.e.,
sudo aptitude purge kubuntu-desktop
You would expect that the system returns to the same state ( as in the
same installed packages) as before you ran the install command. Instead
however only the meta package kubunut-dektop is removed, all the
automatically installed dependencies of kubuntu-desktop remain.
kubunut-desktop is a convent way to install Kubuntu from a standard
Ubuntu installation. It should also be a convenient way to remove
Kubuntu and revert back to Ubuntu.
To reproduce this problem start with a fresh install of ubuntu, issue the
command
sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
then
sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop
notice that only the single meta package kubunut-desktop is removed and all the
dependencies remain.
I am using Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit version with kubuntu-dektop package
version 1.122.
