aptitude gives you the same information and the chance to alter it. So, no
doubt, does apt-get.
It isn't that "something went wrong in packaging". It is that it and you
don't agree! But you can get round it as others have suggested.
Though, I must say it does seem odd that TDE should depend on kdegames!!!

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... 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.
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.
I think I have the answer to the question now though. plus now if
something goes wrong, I can blame you guys!
