Uninstalling KFloppy

[anon59358842]

It is completely incomprehensible to me, why in the year 2020 a tool is still delivered, with which floppies can be formatted. But when trying to uninstall kfloppy I got an error message:

[balder@arch-pc]$ sudo pacman -R kfloppy
[sudo] Passwort für uwe:

OK, thanks, I will first investigate what this meta-package contains.

If you run just sudo pacman -R kde-utilities-meta this will only remove the meta package and not all the other packages that have been installed through it. See:

Here it is: sudo pacman -R kde-utilities-meta checking dependencies... Packages (1) kde-utilities-meta-20.08-1 :: Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n] :: Processing package changes... (1/1) removing kde-utilities-meta The only thing being removed is the meta package itself and nothing else thus no breaking of …

You’re right, for old times’ sake, so be it

I think I’ll just fade out this little shit with the menu editing, and it’s gone …
