eroica Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 hello, just downloaded and installed acrobat 7.0 and want to remove xpdf and kghostview to free up some room on harddisk. Unfortunately when i go to remove the xpdf package in Control Center it says that kdegraphics package must also be removed. I want to keep programs like Ksnapshot. Is there a way 2 remove Xpdf while keeping kdegraphics package. i am using MDK 9.1 w/kde 3.1 thanx, alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Not had this prob with 10.1 OE, but you could remove XPDF, and then reinstall the kdegraphics stuff afterwards?!? (maybe)? I know on 10.1 it's not part of kdegraphics, but if it is with 9.1, then you'd probably have to install the components separately. What I mean is, that there will be a kdegraphics package, which installs all the others within it. If xpdf/kpdf is one of them, then you can go into the Install Software, and then just select kdegraphics-ksnapshot, and all related, rather than the generic kdegraphics. Hope that helps!

eroica Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 unfortunately i did remove both not realizing what the kdegraphics package contained. when i reinstalled kdegraphics i again was told had to reinstall xpdf package. i was wondering ifthere was any command line , perhaps w -no depends option that would allow me to remove xpdf package or is there a way from command line to specify just ksnapshot from kdegraphics package to install?.. alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 The command line command rpm allows you to ignore dependences and force install, if necessary. See man rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
