but if I try removing e.g. cherry, then mp-fremantle-pr is removed, thus marking a number of (critical?) packages as auto-removeable!
do you install/reinstall those packages manually? or have you manipulated the mp-fremantle-pr metapackage to fix the dependencies?
at the moment saying that you can delete some of those packages "without losing any critical functionality" seems a bit of a risky statement.
I would also be interested in removing a whole bunch of things I don't need, but perhaps any of you who have actually done that could explain more in detail which steps you've followed?
Thanks.

@int_ua,
Sorry for the late reply.
I suppose I could first mark (some of) those packages as manually installed so that they are not auto-remove'd, but I still find this dependency chaos very annoying.
Sorry for the late reply.
Code:
# apt-get -s purge cherry Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libtpsession (0.1-6+0m5) libqtm-serviceframework (1.0.2-maemo4+0m5) rtcom-accounts-plugin-facebook (4.140-1+0m5) libqt4-declarative (4.7.0~git20100909-0maemo1+0m5) rtcom-skype-emoticons-theme (0.0.7-2+0m5) libqtm-multimedia (1.0.2-maemo4+0m5) rtcom-accounts-voip-support (4.140-1+0m5) n900-fmrx-enabler (1.5-4+0m5) libqtm-publishsubscribe (1.0.2-maemo4+0m5) libconninet0 (0.40+0m5) libqtm-messaging (1.0.2-maemo4+0m5) qtm-modest-plugin (0.0.2-6+0m5) libqtm-location (1.0.2-maemo4+0m5) dsme-thermalobject-surface (0.0.1+0m5) modest-home-applet (0.0.4-5+0m5) libqtm-versit (1.0.2-maemo4+0m5) libconnsettings0 (0.23+0m5) microb-geolocation (1.1.5-6+0m5) libqtm-bearer (1.0.2-maemo4+0m5) libqt4-translations (4.7.0~git20100909-0maemo1+0m5) libtelepathy-qt4-0 (0.2.0-2maemo7+0m5) maemo-optify-runonce (0.10-32+0m5) libqtm-contacts (1.0.2-maemo4+0m5) libqtm-systeminfo (1.0.2-maemo4+0m5) Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. The following packages will be REMOVED: cherry* (0.25-1+0m5) mp-fremantle-generic-pr* (21.2011.38-1) 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 20 not upgraded. Purg mp-fremantle-generic-pr [21.2011.38-1] Purg cherry [0.25-1+0m5]

And then continued with apt-get -s purge cherry (or apt-get remove --purge cherry) and it will only uninstall cherry and mp-fremantle-generic-pr (not hundreds of packages)
Who tried any other package?
http://wiki.maemo.org/Fremantle_closed_packages
If somebody want join filling, I have four steps to gather basic information.
Code:
#description apt-cache show osso-systemui-splashscreen #Provides files: dpkg -L osso-systemui-splashscreen #Current version apt-cache policy osso-systemui-splashscree #Reverse dependencies apt-cache showpkg osso-systemui-splashscreen #Remove (on device which can be reflashed) apt-get remove --purge osso-systemui-splashscreen
I have found it is sometimes hard to say what is critical functionality. I have never used ActiveSync, so removing ActiveSync is not losing critical functionality? I rarely use bluetooth, so it is then not critical functionality? For sure when device will not start anymore = critical.

I manually installed some of them (the ones that sounded like I could need them) and then did auto remove of the rest. Everything's OK for now (I didn't dare reboot yet..)
I'm going through a list of all packages in my N900 and marking the ones I would like to remove (particularly all l10n packages for language/country combinations that I will never need), but I'm still in the "preparation phase" (just editing my list on the computer).
It will take time until I actually do that, but then I'll post my results (if at all relevant). I have never flashed my N900.. and would like to keep it that way

I have also removed qtm-maemo-metapackage and its dependencies (libqtm-*), as no other package seems to depend on that (YMMV).
You can check it here:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...age/1.3-2+0m5/

Soo.. I just shutdown and turned on my N900 again. No problems at all.
I marked the following as manually installed (because of mp-fremantle-generic-pr):
and then purge-removed the following:
So far so good.
Next in line are *-l10n-* (except -mr0 and -enus, -dede)
as well as ezitext-* (I don't even use the VKB at all).
Next-next in line are:
osso-systemui-splashscreen (need to make sure first)
hildon-welcome (same thing)
kernel-modules (from stock kernel, I only use kp50 now).

An old script that I've used to purge locales manually (there were some dependencies preventing me from purging packages IIRC):

Who tried any other package? Unsuccessfull strories?
