Dependencies seem to be protecting it from being removed.
You probably are running one or more programs that use KDE rather than
gnome libraries. They cohabit nicely. I use XFCE and routinely run
several KDE programs. Don't worry about it unless you are constrained
by memory or other resources.
32 gigs of memory. But the constraint is a 30-45 second delay in opening
a new write path to nv storage. This totally disables digikam's ability
to import from my camera as it won't wait. Shotwell works, but with
several of these delays, gimp suffers as I wade thru the system looking
for an image I want to smunch down to mailable size. Same story for a
firefox download. I'm waiting on trixie to see if it installs and fixes
that. The whole machine is effectively frozen while whatever is timing out.
This install is about the 25th install of bookworm and has been a PITA
ootb because the installer, on finding a usb-serial adapter,
automatically installs orca and ttysomething to drive a teletype.
thinking the user is blind. Have you ever tried to use a computer that's
screaming every keystroke you enter at you? Makes the computer worthless
to me. This install works because someone took pity on me way back then
and told me to unplug all the usb stuff.
Yes I have serial adapters, I have and have had for 40 years, a
housefull of X10 stuff, but that does not mean I'm blind. The installer
should ask if I wanted it, it did not.
Thanks Charles.
