Hi,
I'm trying to remove unity from a ubuntu desktop, and later install MATE.
I tried to remove the following packages:
For 11.10
(per http://askubuntu.com/questions/6302/how-can-you-remove-unity)
sudo apt-get remove unity unity-2d-places unity-2d unity-2d-panel unity-2d-spread unity-asset-pool unity-services unity-lens-files unity-lens-music unity-lens-applications gir1.2-unity-4.0 unity-common indicator-sound indicator-power indicator-appmenu libindicator6 indicator-application evolution-indicator indicator-datetime indicator-messages libnux-1.0-0 nuxtools
And apt-get agreed to removed them, but it also wanted to install about 15 more packages, relating to Gnome session.
Then, I ran apt-get remove to remove those 15 unwanted packages, and apt-get agreed but wanted to install 30+ packages relating to KDE??? (100+ MB)
How can I get rid of Unity without all these extra packages installing?
See pastebin: http://pastebin.com/2JU2BUtq
Heres a rough scheme of the problem:
$ sudo apt-get remove <packages from 11.10 tutorial>
...
The following extra packages will be installed:
<... unwanted package set A ~15 packages>
The following packages will be REMOVED:
<packages from 11.10 tutorial>
...
So I try to now remove those annoying extras:
$ sudo apt-get remove <... unwanted package set A ~15 packages>
...
The following extra packages will be installed:
<... unwanted package set B ~100 packages!!! >
The following packages will be REMOVED:
<... unwanted package set A ~15 packages>
are you sure you want to continue[y/n] no way!
so there you have it in a nutshell. I just want the original packages gone.
