Greetings to all,

In late February, before updating/upgrading to Kf5, I ran pacman -Qm as recommended by demm in a message published on Feb.23rd. Knowing that I had never installed any KCP apps, the terminal log gave me the OK to proceed with the move to Kf5. So I did and everything went smooth sailing.

Today, after reading some forum postings, and out of curiosity, I checked again the install and ran 'pacman -Qm'. OH! surprise ... from the terminal:

$ su

Password:

# sudo pacman -Qm

kdegraphics-mobipocket 14.12.2-1

libkcompactdisc 14.12.2-1

#

a) how these 2 foreigners got installed?

b) can I get rid of them without compromising my install?

Thanks for clarifying the situation.

You installed those while KDE 4 was still in the repos. (to clarify, pacman -Qm list packages not in the repo database, so not releated to KCP)

All of those were removed, but these 2 don't conflict with any, so they where missed in packaging to auto remove.

Can you state if they still work as should? Since all they depend on is kdelibs and if used no issue to re-add to the repo.

Thanks for replying.

I don't know if these 2 files are still working as should, I don't know what they are for. All I know is that searching for these 2 files in Octopi they are listed as being in the KCP repository and the Info Tab indicates their build date as January 30, 2015.

Octopi lists all "Foreign" as KCP.

If you want true info about them, run "pacman -Qi" on each of them, and search your pacman log for when you installed them. your pacman

Is it safe to remove these 2 files?

Yes, as you can see, not required by any.

These 2 packages have been successfully removed. Thank you for your assistance. Much appreciated.
