Indeed! but I happen to have preferred Konsole as my terminal (until the
last update when it changed, for the worse imho) so had a slew of kde
libs installed.

purging kpdf will also remove

kdelibs-data{u} kdelibs4c2a{u} kghostview{u} kpdf{p} libart-2.0-2{u}
libarts1c2a{u} libartsc0{u} libavahi-qt3-1{u} liblua50{u}
liblualib50{u}
libvorbisfile3{u} menu-xdg{u} oss-compat{u}

so installing evince won't add too much bloat

/me runs wmaker as everyone must know by now ;-)

Hopefully the problems with ia32-apt-get will get sorted before long as
there are quite a few bugs reported against it
