          I had the same problem in debian buster and found this to work: this





          1. Purge appstream and gnome packages (to be safe, make a list of packages to re-install latter on):



            # apt-get remove --purge appstream gnome*



          You can use the command tasksel --list-tasks to see available desktop options to install.
