kubuntu minimum install

[Shlomo Solomon]

OK - I found the debsums command and discovered about 150!!! broken
packages.   

I piped the results from debsums into apt-get install --reinstall and
fixed this.

Of course, now I'll have to manually un-install Kmail, Kaddressbook,
etc which I didn't want in the first place.

Can anyone suggest why there were so many broken packages?
