I am trying to uninstall Konqueror from my KDE Plasma Desktop. Running the shell command sudo apt remove konqueror gives:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  libkf5konq6
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
The following additional packages will be installed:
  firefox-esr
Suggested packages:
  fonts-stix | otf-stix fonts-lmodern
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  konq-plugins konqueror
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  firefox-esr
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 55.4 MB of archives.
After this operation, 180 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

I don't want firefox-esr to be installed because I am using Brave Browser which is already set to default.

Output of apt-cache policy konq-plugins konqueror firefox-esr:

You've not provided release details; but you need to have one of the required browsers installed for your *unstated* release.

Alright, I figured it out. Tried to remove konqueror using dpkg sudo dpkg -r konq-plugins konqueror and I found that libreoffice-help-en-us depends on either of firefox-esr, epiphany-browser, konqueror, chromium or firefox.

(Reading database ... 211190 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing konq-plugins (4:20.12.0-4) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of konqueror:
 libreoffice-help-en-us depends on firefox-esr | epiphany-browser | konqueror | chromium | firefox; however:
  Package firefox-esr is not installed.
  Package epiphany-browser is not installed.
  Package konqueror is to be removed.
  Package chromium is not installed.
  Package firefox is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package konqueror (--remove):
 dependency problems - not removing
Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme (0.17-2) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 konqueror

After removing libreoffice-help-en-us, I was able to remove konqueror.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
