Removing unwanted KDE packages
Dear Users,
I am a Slackware 12.1 user. As you know the KDE packages come in bundled such as kdenetwork, kdebase, kdepim etc. For instance kdenetwork includes kget, kopete, kdict. Let us assume that I want to uninstall kdict. Is it possible to do so without removing the whole kdenetwork bundle but just that specific package? Thank you in advance... Ekin |
A possible way to do it : Create a package kdenetwork-kdict-3.5.9-i586.tgz
e.g. use 'kdenetwork-kdict-3.5.9-4mde2008.1.i586.rpm' from http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i586.rpm.html Convert to ".tgz" with command 'rpm2tgz kdenetwork-kdict....rpm' Then check the result and see, that there are small differencies e.g. in /usr/share/doc If you think it's OK, then install the package and remove it again. And gone is kdict. (If something goes wrong, kdenetwork can easily be reinstalled ) Or use it as a "draft" to build a package from your own files with # 'makepkg' and then : # 'installpkg' and # 'removepkg' Rgds |
