"Kept back" packages for update , want to uninstall unity? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
You were more observant than me, as I just happily removed Unity using apt-get dist-upgrade!
Sure enough it was gone after I rebooted, and apt-get install -f unity was also rejected.
I had to install aptitude then aptitude install unity, which undid the damage caused by dist-upgrade.
dist-upgrade is still wanting to remove unity though.
