hi all
i was trying to remove mysql package from the system using slapt-get
so i issued the following:

# slapt-get -remove mysql

the slapt-get ominous response was:

Code: Select all

I seguenti pacchetti saranno RIMOSSI:
  redland soprano akonadi kdebase-workspace kdepimlibs kdebase kdebase-lite 
  kdebase-runtime kdegraphics kdelibs kmix mysql 
0 pacchetti aggiornati, 0 pacchetti reinstallati, 0 nuovi pacchetti da installare, 12 pacchetti da timuovere, 0 pacchetti non aggiornati.
Dopo l'installazione 288,0MB di sazio sul disco saranno liberati.
Vuoi continuare? [y/N]

my locale is italian so i traslate in english:

Code: Select all

following packages will be REMOVED:
  redland soprano akonadi kdebase-workspace kdepimlibs kdebase kdebase-lite 
  kdebase-runtime kdegraphics kdelibs kmix mysql 
0 packages updates, 0 packages reinstalled, 0 new packages to be installed, 12 packages to be removed, 0 packages not updated.
after installation 288,0MB will be freed.
continue? [y/N]

so in order to remove mysql, slapt-get will remove kde-base??
wiping out my kde installation??
i cant believe it

i installed Salix OS months ago
i installed core version from iso Salix KDE 13.37

afterwards i installed kde and everithing worked fine

but now i want to remove mysql packages and slapt-get threat to wipe out my kde
with apparently no reason
(kde is not a dependency of mysql, or is it?)

may some one shed any light on this?

thanks for any help

Code: Select all

slapt-get --remove --no-dep  mysql

or

Code: Select all

removepkg mysql

mysql is a dependency for redland, redland is a dependency for soprano, soprano is a dependency for akonadi etc
Not having mysql installed (even not running) akonadi, soprano will have problem to work correctly.
