After this operation, 4,411 kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? (Reading database ... 173975 files and directories currently installed.) Removing qemu-kvm ... Module kvm_intel not loaded ... failed! Purging configuration files for qemu-kvm ... Processing triggers for man-db ... That looks promising.

Virtual box still runs just fine, so there doesn't appear to be any interdependencies. Thanks. Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
