FireFox não está desinstalando no Linux

Question

Eu sou um usuário do Google Chrome e percebo que as novas distribuições do Linux sempre vêm pré-instaladas com o FireFox.

Sempre que eu tento desinstalar, recebo isso:

sudo apt remove --purge firefox firefoxdriver
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer             

required:
  phantomjs python-easyprocess python-fuzzywuzzy python-levenshtein
  python-pyvirtualdisplay python-qt4reactor python-selenium
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
  firefox-esr iceweasel
Suggested packages:
  fonts-stix | otf-stix mozplugger
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  eyewitness* firefox* firefoxdriver*
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  firefox-esr iceweasel
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 42.1 MB of archives.
After this operation, 12.4 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

(observe a seção The following NEW packages will be installed: )

Eu queria saber se havia alguma maneira de desinstalar isso?

Obrigado

Um mantenedor de pacotes com excesso de zelo tomou a decisão de ter firefox ou iceweasal instalado para poder acessar interfaces baseadas na web, como o CUPS. Vá em frente e continue removendo firefox e firefoxdriver Em seguida, basta remover o recém-instalado firefox-esr e iceweasal .
