Re: Update Manager Question
You probably installed some KDE application and that can be reason why you are getting KDE updates.

The packages it wants to update do NOT appear in my list of installed packages.
I will not say that I don´t believe you but you can not update something you didn´t install.Try to run
Code:
aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages
and you will get list of all installed packages.
Re: Update Manager Question
I've listed my packages a number of different ways, but executed your command. Editing the file and listing all packages that begin with "k":
kbd
kdelibs-bin
kerneloops-daemon
keyboard-configuration
klibc-utils
krb5-locales
kdelibs-bin belongs to the KDE family, and maybe klibc-utils, but none of the other packages such as katepart, kde-runtime, and dozens of others are installed. That's why I'm asking. It doesn't make sense.
I used to use KDE back in the day, but started using (and liking) gnome on SLES10. I'm not planning on returning to KDE. Is Ubuntu trying to tell me something?

Re: Update Manager Question
These libraries may belong to KDE as well ...
libkidletime4
libklibc
libkmediaplayer4
libknewstuff3-4
libknotifyconfig4
libkpathsea5
libkrb5-26-heimdal
libkrb5-3
libkrb5support0

Re: Update Manager Question
If you install a KDE app (ex: Amarok), Ubuntu will pull in KDE libraries as dependencies.
As a result, you shouldn't be worried - unless you don't want any KDE-based app on your system, since only the libraries (not the kde desktop) is installed. ;) .
Re: Update Manager Question
Maybe I'm not being clear. Update manager is attempting to "update" (I guess install)
kate-data
kdatepart
kde-runtime
kde-runtime-data
kdelibs-bin
kdelibs5-data
kdelibs5-plugin
kdemultimedia-kio-plugins
kdoctools
libkatepartinterfaces4
libkcddb4
libkcmutils
libkde3support4
libkdeclaritive5 (plasma)
libkdecore5
libkdesu5
liblkdeui5
libkdewebkit5
libkmediaplayer4
libknewstuff3-4
libknotifyconfig4
...
There are actually quite a few more. I have none of these presently installed. Why are they attempting to update?

ps ... I've actually been trying NOT to install KDE dependent apps as I did so in 10.04 LTS and never really used the stuff.
Re: Update Manager Question
I'm facing the problem, yet again with this morning's updates. Anyone with an idea of where I could go to research the problem?

Re: Update Manager Question
Look in /usr/share/applications for KDE apps
