Transition? Packages being removed

[Pip]

Earlier, there were things like kde-standard being removed. Now the list for me is

  kdepimlibs-data kdepimlibs-kio-plugins kf5-kdepimlibs-kio-plugins knode
  libkf5composereditorng5 libkf5gapiblogger5 libkf5gapicalendar5
  libkf5gapicontacts5 libkf5gapicore5 libkf5gapitasks5 libmessagecomposer4
  libmessageviewer4 libtemplateparser4

I'd advise some caution.

Those packages can go, as they come back with the new kdepim that is being installed at the same time.

[Pip]

Hoped that might be the case, but when kde-standard was included, thought it best to check.
Thanks.

Cool, thanks Devil.

I've been watching the progress on this, and was about to ask the same question about those very same packages flagged as 'to be removed'

[bevo]

I did as devil recommend.
Since then there are continue acivities on the HD.

Any advice?

In addition to the above I still have sane stuff wanting to be removed :

Code Select Expand

libksane-data (4:15.08.3-1)
   libksane0 (4:15.08.3-1)
ksaneplugin  (4:16.08.0-1)
Any ideas why?

[jure]

let them go

Code Select Expand

apt policy libksane-data libksane0 ksaneplugin
libksane-data:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:
N: Unable to locate package libksane0
N: Unable to locate package ksaneplugin

Code Select Expand

apt policy libkf5sane-data libkf5sane5
libkf5sane-data:
  Installed: 17.08.3-1
  Candidate: 17.08.3-1
  Version table:

        500 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

OK. Thanks!

[devil]

bevo: I cannot see how the removal of any of those packages could have that effect.

@devil

I removed kdepim > problem gone.
installed kdepim > problem back 

But after DU today all is fine
