Installing the same version as before will just restore the same bugs. Launching a program without any prior configuration (e.g. with a new user account for that purpose) has a better chance of working. > but when I ran "sudo > apt purge gnome-calculator" I was told that the process would also > remove gnome, gnome-core, and task-gnome-desktop; so I didn't proceed. Those are empty packages that exist only to depend on what constitutes a regular Gnome desktop. If you manually remove one of these dependencies, the "umbrella" packages must go as well in order to maintain a consistent system state. What you could do is run "apt install --reinstall gnome-terminal" if you think it might help. J. -- Thy lyrics in pop songs seem to describe my life uncannily accurately.
