I recently installed the cinnamon desktop in my Sid installation

Is there any way to eliminate them, as I have been running Thunderbird
and firefox. Trying to purge them results in aptitude wanting to
purge a lot of other stuff, including the cinnamon-desktop-environment.
One of could be a virtual package depending on Iceweasel etc. I'd check
with e.g. a combination of 'apt-cache rdepends iceweasel' and 'apt-cache
show <packagename>'
I don't use cinnammon so don't know the exact packagename.
Yes it's a virtual package with a long list of depends. I ended up
purging it which also took out 25 or 30 other packages...none of which I
need anyway. So, all's well that ends well.
Thanks
