[Software] Why is konqueror still installed

[urdrwho10]

Debian 12 KDE. I have no idea why konqueror is still installed and (I think) upon removing it problems appear. I think that once removed it causes some kind of problem with Discover updating. Is it because libkf5konq6 is also removed as a dependency of Konqueror or are there other things in the Konqueror package that Discover looks for?

Either way IMHO it is an outdated piece of software and I bet is used by a very, tiny percentage of people.

isn't it simply the default kde browser?

$ aptitude -s install libkf5konq6

Code: Select all

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libkf5konq6 
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libraw20{u} 
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 79.7 kB of archives. After unpacking 1,781 kB will be freed.

konqueror not needed for the package

$ dpkg -l | grep konq

Code: Select all

ii  drkonqi                                       5.27.5-2                         amd64        Crash handler for Qt applications

and so it is

how do you not know what you are installing?

Removing konqueror I would get a drkonqi crashed message when trying to update using Discover.
I'll give your protocol a try.
Thanks

Just leave it. Or use it as a file manager.
