Hi again and I understand if this is too much of the mundane. No need to
respond. I also removed gnucash-common gnucash-docs. I didn't have
gnucash installed at all so obviously no foul. Another thing that
doesn't bother me is that my log-in screen changed. It now has a space
for an avatar or object whereas it previously has not. I was running
software updates when the updater showed I could. I hadn't gotten any
messages about upgrading for quite sometime so I then ran an update and
upgrade. Maybe a bunch of stuff got dragged in? I see that many packages
are snap pkgs. Perhaps those versions are different?
