Now for the more complex stuff

1) qemu:

Any QEMU users here? "apt search qemu | grep qemu" shows

A boot loader for qemu
==========================================================================

My first guess would be to install "qemu-system-x86" and see what it
pulls in.


2) imagemagick:

Installing "geeqie" supposedly pulled in "imagemagick". However
"which imagemagick" shows nothing. There is no "/usr/bin/imagemagick".
To muddy the waters, attempting to install "imagemagick" results in...

==========================================================================
root@dev1:~# apt install imagemagick
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
imagemagick is already the newest version (8:6.9.11.60+dfsg-1.6+deb12u2).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
==========================================================================

How do I get around this? My first guess is...
* apt purge geeqie
* apt install imagemagick
* apt install geeqie


3) slim:

I want to replace xfce with icewm. Problem: "slim" insists on
respawning xfce after I select "log out". "It's generally a bad idea"
to delete or even just kill a program while it has files open. The
"BUGS" portion of "man slim" mentions problems with killing slim while
it's running. My guess at a course of action is to...

* rc-update delete slim (Don't start slim at bootup. I'm running openrc)
* reboot. I should get a text console, and log in as root.
* install icewm
* purge slim and xfwm4
* cd /home
* mv waltdnes waltdnes.old
* scp a tarball of my waltdnes directory from my gentoo machine
* extract the tarball and log in as waltdnes to a familar environment
* necessary tap-dancing to preseve the correct ".ssh" directory
* any problems with this course of action?
