I'll second that thought T, the presently output information is woefully 
inadequate to allow one to make judgemental choices.  To either have to 
cancel it, or accept that removing a single package with broken dependencies 
will then remove kde from ones system totally is un-acceptable.  So we hit 
cancel and leave the garbage on the floor for the rest of the system to 
stumble over.  That, to borrow a phrase, is a hell of a way to run a train.
