Ubuntu :: Remove Installed Dependencies?
May 18, 2010I searched for a hex editor in the USC, and chose to install a package called okteta. Only problem is...(I didn't realize until after it was too late to cancel)...it's a KDE package.Since it was probably one of the first (only?) KDE based app on this fresh Lucid installation, I believe about 115 (!) packages (see the list below) were installed in addition to the one I wanted. Grrrr.I then went into synaptic and removed okteta, but as I should have known, it did not remove any of the dependencies.I then looked at the dpkg logfile to see what had been installed. Here's what I found:Quote:
2010-05-18 02:27:56 install libqtcore4 <none> 4:4.6.2-0ubuntu5
2010-05-18 02:27:58 install libattica0 <none> 0.1.3-0ubuntu1
2010-05-18 02:27:58 install libqt4-network <none> 4:4.6.2-0ubuntu5

Ubuntu :: Remove A Package Without Removing Dependencies
Jun 20, 2010I need to remove libgl1-mesa-swx11, as after I installed it, it has slowed down all my graphics. However, in SPM, it says in order to remove it, I have to remove most of my system, it seems as though it's "dependencies" involve everything to do with graphics, which I was running fine and much better before. So, how do I remove this package without removing dependencies?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Remove A Package And All Its Dependencies In Ubuntu 8.10?
Jan 8, 2009I thought KDE is better than Gnome, and installed kubuntu-desktop on my Ubuntu 8.10 to get KDE. But then I found out my computer can't run KDE without serious laag, and now I want Gnome back. I tried switching back to Gnome, but now this is totally messed up. It's half Gnome and half KDE, plenty of bugs, and I got tons of KDE apps that I don't need. So I just want to remove package "kubuntu-desktop" and all it's dependencies. Maybe there's a fast and easy way to do it? I may/will want to do this for some other packages too.

Oct 19, 2010He was having problems with python and python-devel complaining about conflicting versions or some such when he was updating with yum. I told him (yes, a little of this is my fault) to try removing and reinstalling python and/or python-devel. Little did I know... He ran "yum remove python" and it listed over 600 (!) dependent packages to remove as well. Without telling me THAT part he clicked "y" and then watched as yum removed python and all sorts of other stuff (including yum--how's that for irony?) .
I have to go deal with this situation tomorrow morning but he has so blown away this system I almost don't know where to start. Sure I could re-download the rpm of python and reinstall, it but then I'd still have to one-by-one reinstall all the other rpms that were blown away by the python removal with yum. I do take at least partial responsibility for this. But really? 600+ packages and he clicked "y"? Yeesh. Oh, it's a RHEL 5 machine.

Slackware :: Get Rid Of All The Unneeded Dependencies When Remove A Program?
Jul 9, 2011I'm using slackware 13.37 and I must say that I really like this distro and the biggest problem is the lack of dependency handling. This is something that bites you right away because you have this nice clean simple operating system but unless you really know what's dependent on what you have to install piles of stuff with lots of programs with duplicate functions. A minimal install option would be nice and I can see from some of the threads that even those with a good deal of experience have had a hard time doing a minimal install. I tried about ten times using different guides but I always ended up with something broken so now I have the full install running fine but with tons of stuff that I don't want or need including most of kde. Anyway, I don't think that the slackware people are going to change their minds about dependency handling anytime this century.
Although for those who have said that it's a FEATURE, I'd point out that all distros have this feature, JUST DON'T USE THEIR PACKAGE MANAGER! So with all that said, I think it's a shame about the lack of dependency handling but I still like slackware well enough to use it even though I find the dependency thing quite annoying. I know that there are people here that have a lot more experience than I do and maybe there are some tools that could make this business easier. So how do you go about removing programs? Debian has deborphan and Arch has pacman -Rd. When you remove a program in slackware, how do you then get rid of all the unneeded dependencies?

Jul 14, 2010I'm trying to install mysql-workbench on RedHat 5 Desktop - this is what I was given, didn't pick it.I found an appropriate RPM that I downloaded from the MySQL site, but it's asking for several dependencies that I don't know how to track down.
Here's the error message I get:
Code:
]# rpm -ivh /home/confluence/Desktop/mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.18a-1fc11.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

The packages that aren't installed, I'm just not sure what aI should be looking for to install them. how EXACTLY would you suggest I fix this? By exactly I mean, the dependency you are missing is part of the following package, type yum install "packagename" to fix this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Remove Yellow Square From Desktop / Configure" Box Does Not Have "remove" Or "delete" Option?
Jun 4, 2011Since I plugged in and then unplugged in the firewire port a video camera, I have a note in the bottom-right corner of one of the desktops. It says 'libieee1284-3".
It's not a serious problem at all, I can live with it, but if there was a way to remove this yellow square from my pretty desktop I would like to hear about it .
I tried clicking and right clicking on it; it does nothing except I can access a tiny menu with - apparently - enlarge, refresh and configure buttons. Only the configure button (a spanner) does something, it opens a "configure" box which does not have a "remove" or "delete" option. Rebooting does not remove it.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Not Updating When Remove Desktop Viewed Via VNC?
May 17, 2010using the System->Preferences->Remote Desktop i have setup a fresh ubuntu install to share its screen.
from my OSX 10.6 machine, i have tried connecting via Chicken of the VNC and Jolly's Fast VNC Client, both will successfully connect and show the full screen on access, but fail to update the screen after this.
the only way to update it is to disconnect my VNC session and reconnect again.
the Ubuntu desktop is being VERY responsive to mouse gestures over VNC, so this seems to be a one way issue.
