Installing empathy

"kde" package contains KDE and list of programs, right? It installs empathy with everything else.
For example I deleted empathy. The do
# pacman -S kde
It doesn't install empathy again. Why? It must be in the list I guess?

Re: Installing empathy

Maybe you confuse empathy with telepathy ?

Empathy is a GNOME app my friend.  That is why it is not grabbed with KDE.

No way KDE has a GNOME dep. The only *pathy package it installs as a dep is telepathy-qt4

Re: Installing empathy

So if i delete any KDE app (maybe KGet) and then perform
# pacman -S kde
that app will be installed again?

Re: Installing empathy

So "kde" package contains only list of other packages? It does not contain any programs?

Re: Installing empathy

It contains several apps but empathy is a GNOME app.

Re: Installing empathy

Empathy is a Gnome app - I got it already several times. :-)
So "kde" package contains some programs + list of some more programs that can be installed separately?

"kde" is a group of packages.

# pacman -Sg kde
This will list the packages that are included in the "kde" group.

# man pacman
A useful command.

A useful resource if you haven't looked already.
