Bug Description

I installed "kde-full" a few days ago to try that environment. Being logged in to a KDE workspace, today I uninstalled eclipse-jdt by using the command "sudo apt-get remove --purge elcipse-jdt", and it suggested to run "apt-get autoremove" to get rid of unnecessary pacages. I ran the command and it removed all my KDE packages except those which were in use (kde network manager, kde window manager etc.). I can still use the menu but I don't have any desktop functions and kde applications available.

I installed kde-full to get back the environment, and it seems that I still have my settings.

Now if I type "sudo apt-get autoremove" it doesn't list the KDE packages any more.
