If in doubt next time, you can pass the “-s” argument to apt/apt-get to simulate what would happen and which packages get removed without actually removing anything. You can then inspect the all packages to be removed to ensure you don’t need any of them. If all looks ok then you run the remove/purge again without “-s” to do the actual removal. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
