sudo apt-get -q -y install rhythmbox

Then, if necessary run this in a root shell:

for i in /home/* ; do
{
   cd /home/$i
   rm -fr .cache/rhythmbox
   rm -fr .local/share/rhythmbox
}
done

Dunno about orca and the language packs. It may be that those are
installed with regardless of whether you have rhythmbox or not.
Certainly that is the case with the icons.

As for the apt archives, you will have to remove those specific files
manually (or use "apt-get clean" to remove ALL cached packages).

Note: I'm very tired. Above may be silly. Use at own risk.

Regards, K.
