FWIW, the way it presents the solution makes it hard to see what's really going on. More specifically, the list of removed packages does not distinguish the manually-installed packages from the automatically-installed ones. I usually don't care about removing automatically-installed packages, whereas I rarely want to remove manually-installed packages. Stefan
