after the latest upgrade I had a few things that were suggested to be removed. None of them seemed particularly relevant to my usage so I went ahead and allowed them to be removed.
I was surfing the web while it was working in the background so I didn't pay too much attention. When I went bac and check the logs though it had done a reverse dependency search and removed something like 1040 packages!! Kde had completely been removed as well as all the kde applications and lots and lots more!
How could this be allowed to happen? it seems like the reverse dependency got recursively carried away somehow and I feel like I should never remove any package again if this can happen!
