Title: LXQt self-evolving to Plasma/KDE recently
Post by: dibl on 2023/01/23, 19:28:13

Starting in the last couple of weeks (maybe since the qt5 transition ...), my trusty old LXQt system has started to look more like a KDE system. Today, full-upgrade pulled in plasma-framework, and I decided to post about this issue and see if anyone can give me advice how to get back to plain LXQt without all the libkf5* and qml-kde* packages that have sneaked in to live here.

Examples:
libkf5kcmutilscore5
libkf5kcmutils-data
libkf5kcmutils5
qml-module-org-kde-bluezqt
qml-module-org-kde-kquickcontrols
qml-module-org-kde-kirigami2
qml-module-org-kde-kcmutils

Are there 1 or 2 packages that all of these depend on, that I could use to strip it all out? Or is there some relationship to LXQt that means I need to leave these on the LXQt system?

Thanks for advice!

apt depends calamares

maybe it comes with calamares and all the dependencies?

And here are the packages with wich the ISO is built.

Danke, Hendrick!

I don't think calamares even existed when this system was installed:

Code: [Select]

don@n5110:~$ sudo apt policy calamares
calamares:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.2.61-1+b1 

Code: [Select]

System:
  Kernel: 6.1.7-2-siduction-amd64 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: LXQt v: 1.2.1
    Distro: siduction 17.1.0 Patience - lxqt - (201703051830)

Mh. calamares will be removed in one of the last steps of an installation!

And 2017 patience install, ...., could be possible that we had calamares,...... I have to check this later.

Try 'aptitude why foo' to see why this packages are there.

Code: [Select]

don@n5110:~$ aptitude why libkf5kcmutils5
i  partitionmanager Depends    kio                       
i A kio              Recommends systemsettings             
i A systemsettings  Depends    libkf5kcmutils5 (>= 5.98.0~)

Thanks Hendrick! I forgot about aptitude -- I never use it.

OK, this gives me a place to start removals.

EDIT:  YES! Using "aptitude why", it only took 2 removals, plus "apt autoremove" to clear out all of the unwanted kde and qml packages. Thank you very much, Hendrick, for reminding me about aptitude.
