I recently installed 17.4.1 onto an Acer laptop and was shocked to find that some routines are showing Spanish language and not English. I then had a look at one of my desktops with 16.4 installed, and found that following the recent apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade, some words in Portugese are creeping in! These are the repositories from the latter PC.

No active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/various.listThese must have been changed somehow since the original installation, to the detriment of the routine language. How can I prevent the list of repositories from being overwritten in this way?
I have Spanish keyboards but require English language releases and installations, while I read Spanish I am uncomfortable working with it.
As per anticapitalista’s suggestion, am posting this as a new thread; looking for some obscure hack for Connman.
The house I am living in has a very good wifi box hooked up to Hughes satellite dish. It is set up with a SSID name, and NO ENCRYPTION, because the house is 15 miles from the nearest town, and therefore is not needed (is the explanation from the owner, from whom I rent a bedroom). AntiX 19’s Connman is absolutely worthless in my situation. MX19’s Network Manager connects immediately. AntiX 18.4.1’s ceni functions without a passphrase as well. But Connman does not.
I tried to get Connman to connect with its graphical user interface. It wants my wifi’s SSID, which is “DarkCloud2”. So I entered it, which brought up a window asking for the passphrase, WHICH IT DOES NOT HAVE, because it is completely open and unencrypted. Connman will not proceed from there. I have tried typing in “<none>”. Didn’t work. Online instructions for Connman are singularly unhelpful at best, and are, apparently, nonexistent in antiX 19. Previous versions of antiX didn’t have any for Ceni either, but I was able to muddle through it, with the help of one of DolphinOracle’s videos. Not so with Connman.
I duckduckgo’d “linux connman network manager”, couldn’t find any relevant links for my problem, other than to type in “connmanctl enable wifi” into the terminal. Which I did. eventually typed in “connmanctl help” or “help connmanctl”, don’t remember which. It LOOKED helpful, but nothing I tried would let me get past SSID without a pesky passphrase. Even tried typing in the wifi’s BSSID “00:80:ae:72:7d:e2”. Posting inxi information would seem to me to be unhelpful, as my netbooks’ internal systems are not the problem.
Anticapitalista’s suggestion to add ceni back in is not useful for the live version, let alone a full install, as wired Ethenet is at present unavailable to me (in order to download ceni–-as I said, it’s not my wifi box, and physical access to it is unavailable). Only–and rather unpalatible–solution I can think of, is attempting to remake a core iso into a base or full iso, something I do not know how to do–DolphinOracle’s videos on the subject, dating back to 2014 and antiX 13, seem a bit outdated as to what packages to add back in, if nothing else!
Is there any possibility of fielding a special base version with ceni instead of connman? Because, at the moment, if I want to use antiX19, given my present skill set, I’m dead in the water.
