when I get set to remove kdegames-trinity, it _looks_ like tde-trinity will

understand the implications.
What I do is, first make sure there are no autoremovable packages. Then
remove the metapackage. Then look at the packages that are now
autoremovable, and mark anything you want to keep as manually installed.
Then autoremove the rest.
Hi,
If you want to use Synaptic, it will tell you which package would be removed if you
proceed to remove the metapackage. If it makes sense for you, click on okay and if it
wants to remove tons of packages, then something went wrong in packaging...
Hope it helps!
