In Debian 11 stable with KDE, why would uninstalling konqueror also remove libreoffice, xorg,etc? Why would it cause the installation of firefox-esr? sudo apt-get remove konqueror Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: apper apper-data coinor-libcbc3 coinor-libcgl1 coinor-libclp1 coinor-libcoinmp1v5 coinor-libcoinutils3v5 coinor-libosi1v5 cups-pk-helper fonts-symbola gir1.2-wnck-3.0 kdeaccessibility kmag kmousetool kmouth kontrast libkf5konq6 libqaccessibilityclient-qt5-0 libreoffice-calc libreoffice-draw libreoffice-help-common libreoffice-help-en-us libreoffice-impress libreoffice-kf5 libreoffice-plasma libreoffice-qt5 libwnck-3-0 libwnck-3-common lp-solve mythes-en-us node-normalize.css orca print-manager python3-brlapi python3-cupshelpers python3-louis python3-smbc python3-speechd qtgstreamer-plugins-qt5 system-config-printer-common system-config-printer-udev task-desktop x11-apps x11-session-utils xbrlapi xinit xkbset xorg Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them. The following additional packages will be installed: firefox-esr Suggested packages: fonts-stix | otf-stix The following packages will be REMOVED: kde-baseapps kde-plasma-desktop kde-standard konq-plugins konqueror task-kde-desktop The following NEW packages will be installed: firefox-esr 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 55.5 MB of archives. After this operation, 180 MB of additional disk space will be used. When I sudo apt autoremove, it doesn't try to remove those "no longer needed" packages. But when I try to remove konqueror, it says it will remove a whole lot of stuff that seems completely unrelated.
