greets!
I just did a dist-upgrade (to R14 Jessie; exegnu) somewhat
incorrectly, it made a lot of changes I hadn't intended but that's
user error for the most part. one error was not filtering out stuff I
consider junk, for instance 'games'.
I thought I'd try purging them the so-called easy way using kpackage
but when I get set to remove kdegames-trinity, it _looks_ like
tde-trinity will go along it. I know this has to do with
'meta-packages' but I don't understand the implications.
one gets the same result from apt-get.
I'm happy, happier in fact, to do all of this using apt-get (or
aptitude). I'd love a magical incantation or rather guidance on how to
formulate one to remove this junk:
games
edutainment
education
science
f.
The meta-package 'tde-trinity' includes quite a few other
'meta--packages' as
depends. Use 'apt-cache depends tde-trinity' to view them.
You can safely remove 'meta-packages'...start with 'tde-trinity' since it
pulls in a 'full' TDE desktop enviroment.
For a slim install I start with 'tdebase-trinity' , and add as needed.
