libnepomukcore4 4:4.14.0-1 is going away at end of install as part of 158 "obsolete and locally created packages": I already feel better So, for this one, konqueror wasn't the culprit after all (sorry for being prejudiced against konqueror, as it has already shown a couple of month ago when that matter has been discussed, here) All those packages I was seeing them, I wanted to remove them, but unsuccessfully... Now they went away all by themselves. === I've waited everything was completed before sending: Even though it has been a bit tedious, it's now working like a charm. User experience is smooth and consistent, that is, nothing changed but the colors. Again, I've been influenced in my initial post about what has been said a couple of months ago, about: do we, or do we not, put everything, and the kitchen sink. IMO, the kitchen sink isn't missing here. It is a matter of opinion; for sure, user experience is likely to be smooth. Note: twice, aptitude resolver has been stuck for more than two minutes. (cpu is an i5)
