That was my gripe, if you install Kgames you'll get nepomuk. I just 
avoid anything KDE now. Last night I installed adobe-reader and it 
apparently installed every i386 audio/video .deb package there is. I've 
attach the log of the history, in case anyone wants to see. All I recall 
doing is marking adobe-acroread and when it started all of these 
packages started whizzing in. I figured I better not stop it so that I 
could clean up after. So, I have to learn even harder what I install and 
the consequences of my actions. I just didn't expect to get a drubbing.
