The real bug is that removing libcrypt1 requires this option in the first place[1]. I have just sent a reminder to fix that, but do not assume it will make it into a Bookworm point release.

Unfortunately, I decided to reinstall anyway. I accumulate cruft (packages I install just to test and forget to uninstall), so I figured a fresh install of Bookworm with just the packages I wanted would be best. In any case, thanks for your advice. Paul -- Paul M. Foster Personal Blog: http://noferblatz.com Company Site: http://quillandmouse.com Software Projects: https://gitlab.com/paulmfoster

Unless anyone has other ideas. This has even made it into a bug report [1]. It seems that just adding the --allow-remove-essential option is what you need.

Nice try. However, this isn't allowed, as it would apparently remove
libcrypt1:i386, which is apparently a "system-critical" package. I'm
not sure how this could be system critical, since my original
installation was 64 bit. This begins to look like a reinstall, in order
to get my system "clean". Unless anyone has other ideas.

apt-get remove --purge \
`dpkg --get-selections | grep i386 | awk '{print $1}'`
followed by
dpkg --remove-architecture i386

Removing i386 architecture
Folks: In order to install steam from the Debian repo, I followed the directions to: dpkg --add-architecture i386 prior to the installation. Turns out steam wouldn't run my game, so I uninstalled it. Now I don't need the i386 architecture, so I dutifully did: dpkg --remove-architecture i386 I received this error message: dpkg: error: cannot remove architecture 'i386' currently in use by the database So if anyone can help me remove i386, I'd appreciate it.
