Subject: can setup.exe uninstall all X11 packages automatically?
Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2017 17:56:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOYLpW6kpzP-0VKnH1g_3bsihfbC7PkFyMaSzWOMA_diMGTfoA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I want to remove all X11 related since it's no longer something I really use.

I executed setup.exe, tried to do this with just one check (uninstall
x11-org-server, I think I did), but it only uninstalled that package
alone!

I expected setup.exe to be smart enough to tell me "if you uninstall
this X package, these others W, Y, Z,etc., will also be
uninstalled"... but no...

So, is setup.exe smart enough to do this? Or do I have to know exactly
which packages to uninstall, one by one??? :(

Regards,
