How to remove KDE dependencies that were installed with k3b?

Post by mintuser4me »

I installed K3B, and all of the kde dependencies also got installed. Now, if I want to rebove k3b from the package manager, it doesn't show that all those other dependencies will be removed. Since I won't be needing those libraries, I don't need them on the computer and updating all the time. How do I know which ones were installed, and how do I remove all of them safely?

Thanks.

You can use

Code: Select all

apt-cache depends k3b
to list all its dependencies.

If you still have k3b installed use

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude remove k3b
to remove k3b along with any unused dependencies.
