I'm not sure why you'd expect many of those to be dependencies. antlr, db4.2-util, gjdoc, jikes, libgnujaxp-java & libgnujaxp-jni are all packages one _might_ install to support other apps, but would be at best "suggested" or "recommended" (this is true of almost all the lib*-java libraries, as they are rarely absolutely required, but always used to support something else). kandy & subversion are standalone applications. -- derek -- kubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> Hi! Superkaramba was the first one that hit my eye that was definitely not a dependency. Subversion I do recognize as a standalone app, but I don't know kandy, which I only assumed to be some "supporting" app in the background ... And it was just a basic pointer as to why aptitude *might* want to remove an application... Cheers Philipp Bieber -- Quis custodit custodes? Wer überwacht die Wächter? Who will watch the watchers?
