OK - I found the debsums command and discovered about 150!!! broken packages.
I piped the results from debsums into apt-get install --reinstall and fixed this. Of course, now I'll have to manually un-install Kmail, Kaddressbook, etc which I didn't want in the first place. Can anyone suggest why there were so many broken packages? On Wed, 18 Jul 2018 08:09:56 +0300 Shlomo Solomon <shl...@the-solomons.net> wrote: > I did a minimum install.
