Why don't you want to "loose [sic] them"?

So, the question is: why do you want to keep those you told should be removed? BC </pre> </blockquote> No it is not just wanting to just remove just one program... I was now just tring something else, it told me do this dpkg --configure -a So now, it is removing tons of things, KINO, fonts, just to man a few sinceit is going so fast, but hundreds of stuff... I am now waiting for it to finish, yet I have a feeling after I reboot, it will never come back the same as it was...
