I've just installed Linux Mint (Tara) on an old laptop. One of the first things I've done is removing Firefox using sudo apt purge firefox and installing Chromium.



Now, after doing sudo apt autoremove, sudo apt autoclean and sudo apt update, apt tells me that one of the packages that can be upgraded is firefox-locale-en. Shouldn't this package be removed when I unninstalled Firefox? Isn't firefox-locale-en a Firefox dependency?

    "Isn't firefox-locale-en a Firefox dependency?" To answer that, run apt depends firefox.

  • Thanks for the answer. According to the command it isn't but why? What other purpose could that package have if it is not to work only with firefox?.

There is no declared relationship, in Linux Mint, between the firefox package and the firefox-locale-en package; as a result, removing the former doesn’t result in the removal of the latter. It could make sense to have firefox-locale-en depend on firefox (the equivalent Debian packages do this); that way, removing firefox would force the removal of firefox-locale-en. Perhaps you could file a bug...

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
