Hi,
this is more a generell Debian topic, but I'm not so used to Debian-like distros. I deinstalled some packages with "apt-get remove --purge xxx", but kdebluetooth reported an error. Now everytime I try to deinstall another package, apt tries to delete kdebluetooth again and the whole operation fails. So how can I say apt that it should ignore kdebluetooth? I tried to reinstall it, but then apt wants to update a lot of other packages, what I do not like to do.
Thanks in advance!

A couple things to try:


apt-get -f install without any options.

You could also try using dpkg to remove kdebluetooth, type : man dpkg in a shell to get instructions on how to use it.
