Anyways that's my request...
Yes, you've got a point. But i think it's not that important in a security distro, and the repositories have kcalc, so you can install it if you need it.Quote:

I dunno if they've fixed the repositories already, but there was a time when you had to do:
apt-get install kcalc-kde3
because if you just specified "kcalc" then it tried to install hundreds of megabytes of shite to do with KDE4.
Just enter the interactive python interface and your all set as far as calculations. here are a couple examples:
Code:pc-tesla speedtest # python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jan 4 2009, 17:40:26)
[GCC 4.3.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 5 + 4
9
>>> 5 ** 4
625
>>> 5 * 4
20
Or use bash.Quote:
