Just got a notification about some new updates, two days after I upgraded to KDE 4.4 from the ppa:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 29 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 5,183kB of archives.
After this operation, 77.6MB disk space will be freed.

This can't be right, can it? Can anybody explain what's going on?

Thanks,

Mark

Yes,

Microsoft developers have taken over KDE and are in the process of
destroying its user base....


the update notification seems to arrive to early before the update is
actually complete. I had one of these that broke my system. If you
check again now you'll probably find a different result, (but who
