What problems will I cause by removing > evolution-data-server? <snip> For someone who is not using Gnome, you certainly have a lot of Gnome packages installed on your machine.... <grin> evolution-data-server was "split" from the evolution user package to provide data support for a lot of Gnome related applications.... While you apparently already removed evolution itself from your system, you still have a lot of Gnome related applications installed.... The real question is whether or not you are using any of those other applications at all.... Remember, just because you are running KDE, doesn't mean that you might not run a Gnome based application at some point..... You may want to view e-d-s much like GTK libraries, support files for applications you may want to run in the future.... HTH, --Rob
