Hey,
I recently installed the KDE interface for Ubuntu to check it out. It, of course, came with a lot of prerequisites which were also installed. I now want to get rid of them, but simply removing the main package that I installed (kubuntu-kde4-desktop from this rep: "http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main" as per http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/07/30/install-kde-41-in-ubuntu-and-make-gtk-applications-look-good/) doesn't uninstall all the other programs, because they were "suggested" and not really prerequisites, according to synaptic.
Can anyone think of a way to uninstall all these kde programs that I do not want on my standard Gnome Ubuntu installation? I have all the .deb files for the programs, and if I sort them by modification date, I can isolate them. Maybe there is a way to uninstall all the deb files from the terminal? (maybe using dpkg?). Any ideas?
