So why do you *choose* to spend some much time fighting against the machine? Why do you insist on spending hours and days tracking down every little package that does you no harm and eradicating it from your system (even if doing so breaks stuff!) because it is "Gnomish"? At the point that you are removing packages using dpkg --purge --force-all you are literally fighting the system and telling it that you know better than it what libraries and packages are needed. -- Steve ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
