  1. Re:Dependencies are annoying. on Debian's Testing Branch Nears Completion · · Score: 3, Informative

    No, they are not annoying. This is a very useful new concept in Debian, I believe that once you understand it, you can see how nice it is.

    Explaining better:

    All those packages are installed as dependencies of the metapackage 'kde'.

    You are trying to remove one of it's dependencies (kdegames) and that's why apt-get want to uninstall all other dependencies and the 'kde' itself.

    If you want those packages, but not the kdegames, you should install those packages by hand (or at least those starting with kde, that I think most of them are metapackages also).

    It can be new in Debian, but only relatively new in Ubuntu (I believe is in some new version of the apt system), but quite old in Gentoo. And it was one of the things that I missed most in Debian.

  2. Re:Amarok again on Syncing Music Players In Linux? · · Score: -1

    I do use Amarok too. And it's really nice.

    My only pain with it is the following: I have an iPod 80GB (5G) and only sync it with Amarok (1.4.5). Everything works nice, but when I sync anything (even adding only one new music) Amarok gets half an hour to finish the process, getting all the CPU and freezing itself until it's done. I think it's due to my large library (basically only MP3, ~10k music files, almost all with covers). The process for disconnecting gets another 30min. Again, getting all the CPU. I think it's Amarok updating the covers database.

    But besides it, Amarok is really amazing.
