Remove Epiphany?

[ScoobyDan]

This morning I did my daily:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

This resulted in:

Code: Select all

The following packages have been kept back:
  epiphany-browser libclutter-1.0-0 libseed0 libssl-dev libssl0.9.8 openssl
The following packages will be upgraded:

I accepted these updates, which I note included epiphany-browser-data. Next came the dist-upgrade selection:

Which wants to remove epiphany and gnome-core

Is it safe to allow this? I don't use epiphany (I prefer Chrome), but I don't want this removal to affect something else.

Many thanks for the advice.

No go ahead if you don't use a program get rid of it.

[Jaime Frontero]

No go ahead if you don't use a program get rid of it.

gnome-core??? i use that.

(sorry for the redundant thread above ["gnome-core removed in latest updates?"], but i'll leave it...)

[Dr.m0x]

I removed gnome-core without any ill effect. It was for the same reason - to remove epiphany and evolution. Gnome-core is the gnome desktop and various "default" gnome apps.

Gnome-session is the meta package which installs the bare bones gnome desktop. Obviously you don't want to remove that if you want to log into gnome desktop.

Gnome-core is perfectly safe to remove however.

ScoobyDan, one should mention when asking these questions that is running a self-made LMDE: in this case one pointing to sid repos

[craig10x]

I had done those updates and i think what it did was replace epiphany with an newer version that is why it removed the old one

zerozero,

I don't quite know what you are referring to: The LMDE I am running is pretty much stock - I am using the standard kernel, testing repos (not sid) - the only non-standard repos I have added are for conky and VirtualBox.

so i question myself

just saying that funny enough the removed pkgs is the same in my sid install and in your standard one, and i can't replicate that in my vanilla lmde

[AlbertP]

gnome-core is only a dummy package used to install many Gnome components at once - those Gnome components remain installed.
