+<!--beginarticle-->
+<PRE>Upgrading to KDE 4.8.1 I realised that substantial time is lost
+downloading fat handbooks that I do not need.
+
+After taking a closer look, I threw out 65 handbooks which I never asked
+for and which I do not need. Looking into the details of this flood (rpm
+-q with a filter for handbooks), the following facts become clear
+
+- the upgrade to kde 4.8.1 added the 4.8.1 handbooks without
+uninstalling the corresponding 4.8.0 versions
+- I am getting (lots of) handbooks for games, where the games themselves
+are not installed (I use a minimum install, nevertheless get some games
+which I remove with urpme kdegames4 - I suspect that this forgets to
+remove the corresponding handbooks).
+- I am getting (non-requested) kde-l10n-handbooks for french, german and
+en_GB, probably due to the fact that these languages are specified in
+the kde locale (languages tab) - to support spellchecking and
+hyphenation, that should not trigger the handbooks
+
+This is (a) a multiplicator for the time spent downloading and
+upgrading, and (b) a substantial waste of storage.
+
+I used urpmi --auto-orphans (no negative effects) to get rid of the
+major part of this flood.
