If caja file manager is selected as default file manager...

[gapan]

I'm not sure how it got installed, but you can definitely remove it safely:

Code: Select all

sudo spkg -d mate-file-manager

.

OK, thanks - I'll do so.

BTW here the installed packages are listed with their time-stamps for additional insight:

Code: Select all

$ ls -l -t /var/log/packages | head --lines=40

You can see that the installation finished 17:34, then the updates were applied almost immadiately upon first login, i.e. 17:49 (notice the 3 mate-* packages), and the additional packages were installed later on.
