Subject: Re: [TLUG]: more user-friendly than Update manager?
Sorry for top-posting here but I figured since my answer is so fresh (and I don't want you to hunt below for non-existent interleaved responses), I would top-post this once...
How about I run something like...
sudo apt-get remove *volution*
?

Hi Chris,
If you do that, make sure it doesn't try and remove your deskop environment [DE] on you. Some of these things have become "plumbing" for the DE, and removing them would cause the package manager to remove the DE. </pre>

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll stick to de-selecting items in
update-manager and keep out of trouble. <br>

IMHO, it'd be nice if programs tested for the availabliilty of some funcions, and simply disabled the features whne the underling functions aren't present.
Best of luck,
