Use dselect. Update from the main menu. Select from the main menu. In the main screen, unset the package selections that you don't like. Maybe dselect will prompt you about other packages, that depend on the ones you just chose to remove, and suggest a changed selection, that does not have unmatched dependencies. Check that this is what you want indeed and hit enter. Install from the main menu. > Any help/suggestion/enlightenment for me ? Repeat mantra: dselect reaches where apt can't get. Cheers, Joost
