As the bot on #kubuntu says:

[10:10] <jjesse> !automatix
[10:10] <ubotu> somebody said automatix was unsafe, it overwrites 
configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'ynYn'" that are 
considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, 
but it's often best to read the documentation.
