I guess you can't remove emacs, some functionallity it offers is needed - so if you remove it, a substitute has to be installed.Originally Posted by drews
How come when I tried to use apt-get to remove a package to regain disk space, it starts to install extra packages that take up more space than before?
See output below... (and another question is: when I'm thru with apt-get can I remove all the files under /var/cache/apt? this is to make room for a knoppix liveCD remaster)

Weird indeed ! Maybe you should use the '-s' flag (simulate) first so you see what apt would do. Try 'apt-get -s remove xemacs21' Deborphan is also useful to spot unneeded libraries which are safe to remove.
Yes, you can purge the local package cache. just type 'apt-get clean'Originally Posted by drews
