Somewhat on a whim, I’m trying to figure out what laptop packages I can remove from my desktop. Having already removed touchpad-indicator, I came across klaptopdaemon-trinity as a good candidate.
# aptitude search '~d laptop' i A klaptopdaemon-trinity - battery monitoring and management for laptops using TDE
So, did a dry run, and it wants to remove all of TDE from the computer. (output below)
So, uhm, what am I missing here? TDE isn’t really dependent on a laptop daemon, right? My desktop does not need that package, right? What’s the proper command to remove it?
Thanks, Best, Michael
Now I'm replying to myself... It seems any TDE app does this, just did a dry run on kbounce-trinity, it did the same thing.
The problem are the metapackage dependecies: If you have installed TDE using the "root" meta package, removal of any package in the TDE package tree will trigger the removal of all patent packages which resolves in the removal of all TDE packages. You'll have to mark all meta packages as "manual" and also all packages that were pulled in from the parent meta package of the package you want to remove. It would help if all meta packages were marked as such, but ... well ... time is short.
