App manager complained about too little free space again (even though 70 MB should be enough for 5 MB updates!)
Now I'd like to remove unnecessary stuff and stumbled over TTF-Droid. According to Fapman it is being used by Conky. I already changed Conky's config file to use Tahoma instead, but I still cannot uninstall those Droid fonts without uninstalling Conky too.

Is there any way to uninstall a package without uninstalling other packages that "depend" on them?

you could use # dpkg -P ttf-droid

problem is apt-get will probably complain afterwards.

This is what happens with debian-like systems. The package is compiled with some dependencies, packaged with some more, and then the user is stuck. Only solution is to compile yourself with the options you actually need/want.

Didn't work as expected, I still get a dependency error and ttf-droid won't be uninstalled
Thanks for your help and quick reply!
