I fail to see why these dependencies exist. I can imagine situations
where kmail, konqueror and tdebase could need Samba, but many more
where they don't.
I have no Windows machine so I never use samba.
Neither have I. Same with aptitude, I can't remove it, IMSNHO its a
dangerous utility as it destroyed my system about 2 weeks ago, requiring
I re-install 236 packages. I haven't nuked the executables yet, but I
just did a chmod -x on the /usr/bin/aptitude-curses. Now I sit back
and see what complains.
Same thing essentially with nfs. I found, with Dr. N. Klept's help, that
sshfs is much more transparent, and faster than nfs once setup,
qualifying it for a Just Works(TM) label.
The only dependency I can think of for samba/cifs, is cups uses it I
believe for network shared printer discovery. This makes all the
printers configured and usable from this machine, available for use from
the other 4, soon to be 5 machines on my local network. But its also
watching paint dry slow at that discovery, taking a browser about 10
seconds to display localhost:631/printers.
