i tried to remove "noatun" but when i wrote
apt-get remove noatun
that was the output
These packets will be REMOVED:
kde kdeaddons kdemultimedia noatun noatun-plugins
someone know why i can't remove noatun without removing all the stuff?
(this problem occours also with other programs)

kde and gnome, that's it , too many uncessary software, too many dependencies , too bloated!! have you ever seen a so huge start menu with so many programs you don't and won't ever use??

but i've heard it's possible to remove it without remove the whole thing

There are at least two possibilities to deinstall software without all the dependency stuff.

The first one is :
This means the Debian Package Manager turns errors, based on dependencies, into warnings, and will deinstall the package. And by the way, with -P option, it will purge (remove) the config-files of the selected package.

The second one I know is:
This order causes apt-get to deinstall the selected package without paing attention to any troubles or dependencies.

But please be careful with this options! The result may be an unstable system!
-> So check the dependencies carefully and do not deinstall software other packages you need depend on.

Hope this helps you ...
