When you remove a package using apt it removes packges that depend on it. Run apt -s remove <package> | grep Remv This will list all the packages that depend on <package> and therefor would also be removed. "apt -s" simulates the action without actually changing anything. It needn't be run as root. -- John Hasler j...@sugarbit.com Elmwood, WI USA
