How to remove chirp without removing another important system components? I decided to remove some unwanted packages, e.g. sudo apt-get remove --purge chirp The according package is removed but also The following packages will be REMOVED: chirp kali-linux-full python-libxslt1 IMHO the removal of `kali-linux-full` causes my Kali Linux to crash. Could anyone enlighten me why is this happening or what am I doing wrong?

`apt-get` installs and removes all dependencies automatically. **The following is likely to break the future operation of`apt-get` and friends**. If you don't want that then just use `dpkg`:


dpkg --purge --force-depends chirp


If it is really necessary to get rid of the contents of the package, you should consider making a `.deb` file with a higher version number than the chirp that is installed that doesn't contain the contents.
