Interesting . . . is that one of the “meta packages”?? I’d still like to
try to figure out what is “missing” in the present install . . . OR, could
I try to “force install” of “mate-desktop-environment” and see if it loads
the right dependencies? Could that “mess things up” more than they are
already?
I’ve sort of been pondering this one, considering the fact that aptitude
seemed to dismantle the MATE aspect, and, then would not re-install the
mate packages . . . ??? If I have some idea of the “why” of it, then maybe
it’s worth the time to do a re-install of MATE . . . but if there is some
“fatal flaw” somewhere that will just get re-loaded . . . seems like a
question mark . . . . OR, would doing the Ubuntu Core install of 14.04.2
and then add MATE . . . DE? could that help or would that again bring in
this meta-package issue that aptitude would begin to dismantle?
