Hrmpf, removing KDE4/Qt4 will remove a lot of packages: breeze4-style 5.15.3-1.1 jovie 17.08.3-1.5 kdebase4-runtime 17.08.3-6.5 kdebase4-workspace-libs 4.11.22-16.3 kdelibs4 4.14.38-7.1 kdelibs4-core 4.14.38-7.1 kding 0.6-1 kscd 17.08.3-1.3 libattica0_4 0.4.2-5.11 libbreezecommon4-5 5.15.3-1.1 libdbusmenu-qt2 0.9.2+14.04.20131209-3.13 libkactivities6 4.13.3-6.13 libkde4 4.14.38-7.1 libkdecore4 4.14.38-7.1 libksuseinstall1 4.14.38-7.1 libphonon4 4.10.2-1.1 libpolkit-qt-1-1 0.112.0-1.9 libqt4 4.8.7-16.1 libqt4-qt3support 4.8.7-16.1 libqt4-sql 4.8.7-16.1 libqt4-sql-sqlite 4.8.7-16.1 libqt4-x11 4.8.7-16.1 phonon-backend-gstreamer 4.9.0-1.10 scribus 1.4.7-3.3 sni-qt 0.2.6-5.4 unetbootin 0.0.657-1.3 On another system: amarok 2.9.0-2.5 amarok-lang 2.9.0-2.5 breeze4-style 5.14.5-1.3 jovie 17.08.3-1.5 kde4-kgreeter-plugins 4.11.22-16.3 kdebase4-runtime 17.08.3-6.4 kdebase4-workspace-libs 4.11.22-16.3 kdelibs4 4.14.38-6.3 kdelibs4-core 4.14.38-6.3 kdepimlibs4 4.14.10-7.3 kdm 4.11.22-16.3 kdm-theme-lisa 1.2-2.2 keurocalc 1.2.3-1.6 keurocalc-lang 1.2.3-1.6 kio_audiocd4 16.08.3-1.7 kio_mtp 0.75-6.10 kscd 17.08.3-1.3 libQtWebKit-devel 4.8.7+2.3.4-2.157 libQtWebKit4 4.8.7+2.3.4-2.157 libakonadi4 4.14.10-7.3 libakonadiprotocolinternals1 1.13.0-11.7 libattica0_4 0.4.2-5.11 libbreezecommon4-5 5.14.5-1.3 libdbusmenu-qt2 0.9.2+14.04.20131209-3.13 libjoschy0 0.8.1-4.5 libkactivities6 4.13.3-6.13 libkcddb4 16.08.3-1.7 libkcompactdisc4 16.08.3-1.8 libkde4 4.14.38-6.3 libkdecore4 4.14.38-6.3 libkdegames6 14.12.3-1.13 libkdepimlibs4 4.14.10-7.3 libkscreen 1.0.5-2.13 libkscreen1 1.0.5-2.13 libksuseinstall1 4.14.38-6.3 liblastfm1 1.0.9-1.7 libmygpo-qt1 1.1.0-1.3 libphonon4 4.10.2-1.1 libpolkit-qt-1-1 0.112.0-1.9 libprison0 1.1.1-4.15 libqca2 2.1.3-3.4 libqimageblitz4 0.0.6+svn1515099-1.4 libqjson0 0.8.1-9.12 libqscintilla2_qt4-13 2.10.8-2.4 libqt4 4.8.7-15.2 libqt4-devel 4.8.7-15.2 libqt4-linguist 4.8.7-15.2 libqt4-qt3support 4.8.7-15.2 libqt4-sql 4.8.7-15.2 libqt4-sql-sqlite 4.8.7-15.2 libqt4-x11 4.8.7-15.2 oxygen-transparent 0.1+20141112-6.8 oxygen-transparent-liboxygenstyle 0.1+20141112-6.8 phonon-backend-gstreamer 4.9.0-1.10 phonon-devel 4.10.2-1.1 plasma-theme-helium 4.1.0-2.2 python3-qscintilla-qt4 2.10.8-2.5 python3-qt4 4.12.3-1.4 qt4-qtscript 0.2.0-13.3 recorditnow 0.8.1-4.5 recorditnow-backend-ffmpeg 0.8.1-4.5 recorditnow-backend-mplayer 0.8.1-4.5 scribus 1.4.7-3.2 sni-qt 0.2.6-5.4 tipp10 2.1.0-0 <irony> Sure, you might get a more secure system, simply because loosing a lot of users... Less installed systems, less security issues with it. I'm not sure, if this is your intention. </irony> Is there any tool, that attempts an automatic transformation of Qt4/KDE4 based applications to Qt5/Plasma5, which requires manual work for the real issues only? Missing amarok, scribus, and kding hurts the most. Not being able to play an Audio CD will be a shame as well.
