Hello,
I recently installed Trisquel Mini, and I can't remove some packages (as Midori) without removing a package called "trisquel-mini-recommended" or "trisquel-mini". Are these packages important to make the system work, and if so, how can I remove Midori only ?
Thank you !

Those packages are meta-packages, i.e., their "raison d'être" is to conveniently install a whole set of packages they have in dependence, whereas they do not install anything by themselves. In other words, removing such meta-packages does not alter your system in any way and is a normal step to pass by when you remove an application provided by the default install (conveniently defined as a few meta-packages). The only "problem" (which may not be one for you) is that APT will never propose you to install a new application Trisquel's developers would like you to discover (hence include in the default Trisquel, i.e., as a dependence of a meta-package).
