How can I completely remove OpenOffice stuffs without breaking kubuntu-related?

[pansz]

I use aptitude and apt-get to manage my packages.

Recently I found that when I run sudo aptitude upgrade, I often get OpenOffice updates while I don't need it at all. (KOffice does everything and better). I don't have a very fast internet connection so I do only want to upgrade things I need. so what I should do is to remove OpenOffice.

When I want to remove openoffice I found that kubuntu-desktop need it. I certainly do not want to remove "kubuntu-desktop". what should I do?

is there any easy way to remove all openoffice-related stuffs? (preferably within the console)

Re: How can I completely remove OpenOffice stuffs without breaking kubuntu-related?

kubuntu-desktop is a meta package.
meaning it doesn't install anything.
it only lists dependencies/recommendations/suggestions.
whatever application you wanted to remove from that list would ask to remove kubuntu-desktop.
the good news is: nothing happens.
since it's just a meta package, you won't lose anything.
as to how you do it simply from the command line...

apt-get autoremove openoffice.org-core

should do it without (hopefully) break too many things...
