I see that the applications list (Computer > Applications > More applications...) is "integrated", so to speak, with the package manager. The right-click menu gives me an option of removing an application. That is very nice. However, if I choose that option, it loads the full package manager, which in turn loads the full package list from the on-line repos.
IMNSHO, I think that it is not necessary to load the on-line package lists if I only want to remove an application that is already installed on the local system. The info needed for removal should already be on my box. Or am I wrong? If I'm wrong, shouldn't the info needed to remove a package be available off-line?
If the intention is to remove the menu reference, the package manager is not needed. If the intention is to remove an application from disk, then yes, you need the full package manager, which should then check whether that will break dependencies. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
