If you select to change your package selections, it will just do it. Just don't select to change your package selections, if you don't want to change them!
I unchecked everything in the install packages section because I didn't want to install anything. (I only wanted to reconfigure my time settings). It was not the least bit clear that that would remove anything. It looks like nothing serious was actually removed but it looked quite serious at the time.
NB: you can use the up and down arrows to select different menue entries.
That was quite clear and there was nothing in that menu about configuring time. I can only guess now that I would have had install some particular package to get that choice.
