I was experimenting with having two different versions of Emacs (24 and 25) side-by-side on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. Now I would like to remove Emacs 25 because it errored during the installation (different story).



When I run the command to do so, I see that it wants to remove a lot of dependencies. I do not know much about these packages. How critical are they? Are all of them due to Emacs installation? I do not recall Emacs requiring 500MB of space. Typically it is about 90MB.

    If you only installed emacs25 recently (or semi-recently), why not go & look in your apt/logs to see what was added when you installed it. That would be the first thing I'd do if I was in your position.

  • @guiverc I tried to install it very recently. However, I have had Emacs 24 for a long time and would like to make sure that that is working without hiccups.

    I would still look in your logs, I just looked in my own apt logs and they go back a year on this box. I did/do see kernel references which I can't imagine being related to emacs25 so I suspect your system is using the purge to also do a clean-up, but I usually use snaps if I want two+ versions so I avoid the issue you've got. I would still look for the emacs25 install as whatever was added at the time should be removed (unless it is used by other apps added to your system since then)

  • Your logs are in /var/log/ with apt|dpkg (or packaging task) logs in /var/log/apt/. The most recent will be history.log, with older files gzip'd (to save space) & also there (zcat would be used to view a .gz file instead of usual cat etc)
