Hi, actually I had the same problem as Ron, so I followed the apt-get remove procedure you described. Unfortunately I came accross this problem: I removed apt-howto, a series of translated apt-howtos fine. However the brasilian/portuguese version of apt-howto won't uninstall. even:~# dpkg -l | grep apt-how ii apt-howto-en 1.7.6-4 A Guide to APT ii apt-howto-pt-b 1.7.6-4 A Guide to APT even:~# apt-get remove apt-howto-pt-b Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Couldn't find package apt-howto-pt-b Using "Aptitude" however I managed to uninstall it. Is that because of a mismatch in naming of the package of the pt-b translation? Another question. I am continuing to get this error report when I install doc files... dhelp_parse: no title found for directory doc dhelp_parse: no title found for directory help What should I do there? I don't think to have broken dependencies... (how can I check out for them?) Thank you. -- limaCAT
