Hello,
I'm running Debian 9.5 (amd64) and attempting to uninstall firefox-esr. However, apt says that gnome and gnome-core are among the packages which will also be uninstalled. Does anyone know why Gnome apparently depends on firefox-esr, and how I can just uninstall firefox-esr and leave Gnome alone?
Thanks!
# apt-get remove firefox-esr
