Because KDE is so slow on my machine, I want to get rid of the KDE packages, e.g. I want to uninstall kwrite, dolphin and konqueror


upkg-xref states, that kdebase is still installed.
/usr/bin/konqueror kdebase-x86-glibc-2.8-gcc-4.3-1-4.2.1-1
/usr/lib/kde4/dolphinpart.so kdebase-x86-glibc-2.8-gcc-4.3-1-4.2.1-1
/usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kwrite.so kdebase-x86-glibc-2.8-gcc-4.3-1-4.2.1-1
/usr/bin/kiconfinder kdebase-runtime-x86-glibc-2.8-gcc-4.3-1-4.2.1-1

How can I uninstall that stuff? These are the error messages:

[root@blabla:/home/user]# upkg-remove kdebase-x86-glibc-2.8-gcc-4.3-1-4.2.1-1

You can check if the file /var/lib/upkg/packages/*kdebase*.select exists if so you should remove it and then do a upkg-upgrade

packages that are explicity installed installs also a .select there, if there isn't anything there then I advise you to install kdebase package once again and then remove the .select e remove it with upkg-upgrade instead of upkg-remove

also you should try to do a upkg-repair-index to see if upkg package db is not broken

Thanks, that did the job (I removed all *kde* packages manually by mistake instead of *kdebase*.select, so I can't tell you whether or not the *kdebase*.select existed).
