When apt-get upgrade wanted to download 100M,
I noticed there were packages I don't need.
When I tried to remove them with apt-get remove, it
wanted to remove additional packages. For example:
# apt-get -s remove atlantik
The following packages will be REMOVED:
atlantik atlantikdesigner kde kde-amusements kdeaddons kdegames
I assume there are other programs that depend on kde.
Google and Debian docs didn't clear up the confusion.
Additional test commands didn't help.
# apt-get -s remove atlantikdesigner
The following packages will be REMOVED:
atlantikdesigner kde kdeaddons
# apt-get -s remove kde
The following packages will be REMOVED:
kde
# apt-get -s remove kfax
...
203 upgraded, 23 newly installed, 4 to remove and 153 not upgraded.
>From the above it appears apt will let me remove kde.
The kfax remove is thoroughly confusing.
Is there a command that shows package dependencies?
Is there a way to remove a single package?
Any clarification will be appreciated.
Thanks
Thad
