      I just noticed control centre got uninstalled on me, without me doing anything…
      I downloaded and tested the latest antiX 19.4 iso on virtualbox, I run antiX-updater, saw it had one update to make, I did not want to install anything at the time, so I selected “no”… continue testing 19.4 – noticed that the “other desktops” menu entry under Menu > Applications > Other Desktops did nothing, tested it in my installed antiX 19.3- I’m using fluxbox, so I selected icewm- it did nothing also… some minutes later, I tried clicking the control centre from the main menu- it did nothing. I tried launching from the terminal- nothing… so I rebooted- nothing.

      Solution:
      I had to manually reinstall it (sudo apt install antix-cc-full-antix) but I got an older version of the control centre (without the “software” tab, etc)…

      How does something like this happen, out of the blue? Also, what’s the right package to install, to get the latest control centre back?

      The right command to get Control Center back:
      sudo apt install control-centre-antix

          How does something like this happen, out of the blue?

          It’s a great l’il puzzle.
          Reviewing the apt transaction logs might serve as a starting point toward discovering “how”:
          (how//when “it” got removed)
          /var/log/apt/history.log
          /var/log/apt/term.log

            @skidoo – thanks for the pointers… it’s still a complete mistery- nothing there points me to why CC was removed- in the last 2 weeks I installed and reinstalled mutt’s deb file (to test my debinstaller script), used antix-updater several times, installed cron-apt, keppassx, reinstalled zzzfm and badwolf, installed icewmcc-antix… that’s all…

              You may have removed something that then removed the control centre eg spacefm

              Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

              antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
