hello, I am running kubuntu off of virtualbox software with a 30 gig dynamically allocated seperatly partitioned (virtual) hardrive, and it seems to insist on uninstalling things to install other packages. why is this? my hard drive is not maxed out in the least

Probably some package dependency issues? Would need to see terminal output or screenshots of exactly what's being installed and what the system wants to remove.

well, thanks first off, all hail cthulhu etc.,
and, my kubuntu did this with almost everything, i tried to grab every package that looked remotely interesting yet each one insisted on removing a prior install. i figured out after 20 that it wa not just removing the installers that i grabbed but the entire program each time it asked.... so it happened every time or nearly every.

anyone know what this is?
