I feel kind of ashamed at a time like this as I have been working in the unix world for 30 years this year and the one thing I do know is that one must be very careful to first do no harm. I will see if I can purge each of the packages that apt-get autoremove says can be safely removed and do this one at a time since apt-get autoremove just tries and complains if you do it as a batch.
