Package 'games-minesweeper' is not installed, so not removed

Thank you

Lots of parts and upgrades being done on it and latest one was GPU(Nvidia 1005 Ti)-so it was due for a change of PSU and case(for better airflow). It has 5 SATA port on - as the new case is not having the 5.25" bay - so DVD drive cannot be used. It had two SSD and one 3.5inch hard drive. I didn ...
