I have Gnome Shell installed, and I want to remove the Epiphany browser. But when I click uninstall in the software center its says that Gnome-core
is a dependency of Epiphany, so it will be uninstalled too.
Is there anyway I can remove Epiphany without removing Gnome?
On running sudo apt-get -s remove epiphany
as a commenter suggests, returns as not installed. Its still in my program list though.
I found out, the package that is installed is epiphany-browser
. On running sudo apt-get -s remove epiphany-browser
it still wants to remove gnome-core
.
gnome
orgnome-shell
, becausegnome
is a metapackage which can be uninstalled, and if you look at the dependencies in synaptic, it doesn't mention eithergnome
orgnome-shell
.sudo apt-get -s remove epiphany
in a terminal window. The-s
option makes sure that nothing is removed, but you'll get the list of packages to review. Add it to the question if still unsure.
