     The list isn't so long that it cannot be reduced carefully, step by
step. I'll have a look tomorrow evening, but I must add I have remove
packagekit. Also sane-tools since I haven't a scanner connected to that
laptop. I doubt I have avidemux, speech-dispatcher or mplayer installed,
but I have some components of pulseaudio and alsa for sure. I must check
for default-jre and gimp because both are pretty usefull. This is not my
personal laptop, I installed it for my wife, but I use it also as a
Devuan test bench.


     BTW I've read on Wikipedia that packagekit is a common front end to
several package management systems. But they also say it is aiming at
doing IPC, what the hell? It's a freedesktop.org thing. At least this
one kit can be removed.

--------------------------------------------

orca was part of the default install and likely accounts for speech-dispatcher. I think I tried removing orca early on but ran into a similar situation as above. I do a lot of media work and that is a problem with the pulseaudio stuff that's hooked in. I removed PA and some related stuff a while back but libpulse0 is still needed. When the beta comes out, I may just start over and build things up from scratch very carefully.

So how did packagekit get in there?

So many questions . . .
