Hi! All -- Installed Buster (netinstall CD, LXDE desktop ONLY, system-utils) in Virtualbox 6.0 on Stretch (sysvinit as init) host to test and evaluate. Firefox-esr, of course, installed by default, but after installing Google Chrome didn't need it anymore, so . . . When I apt purge firefox-esr, it was removed and epiphany-browser was installed its place. ??? Strange. Never had that happen before. When I purged or removed epiphany-browser, firefox-esr was reinstalled in ITS place.
If I PINned both not to install, a lot of other files were installed instead like verious ruby files, zip, vlc, etc. etc. List is way too long to post here. Never, ever had this happen and I purged firefox-esr this way from both Wheezy and Stretch. It purged as it should have been with nothing added. Anyone got any ideas why this happened? Or is this a nasty, ol' bug? B
