[lubuntu-devel] Apt removing "QT" packages???

[Fritz Hudnut]

Seems like it all went well on the 25 packages to remove . . . the
"lubuntu" DE seems to be working fine.  In comparison, I think it was
either Sid or Trixie install that had 12 packages to remove that took out
the GUI . . . ??  Hence my paranoia on it.

Typing this in Oracular now . . . .  : - )
