removing qt4 complete

I use kde but without kopete i dont find any other programm using qt4. So i like to remove it complete. But saddly there some conflicts:

sudo pacman -Rs qt4
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: attica-qt4: removing qt4 breaks dependency 'qt4'
:: libdbusmenu-qt4: removing qt4 breaks dependency 'qt4'
:: phonon-qt4: removing qt4 breaks dependency 'qt4'
:: polkit-qt4: removing qt4 breaks dependency 'qt4'

sudo pacman -Rs attica-qt4
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdelibs: removing attica-qt4 breaks dependency 'attica-qt4'

But i dont get why kdelibs need this 4 packages. Are this some lost dependencys or will my system stop working if i remove this 4 packages without dependency-check?

Re: removing qt4 complete

It's a dep because it's needed. Don't skip the dep checks.

As for the question of it breaking things; it will break anything that uses kdelibs. Start by figuring out what that is.
