Trying to rip out anything audio, vlc and phonon related from Whonix-Gateway.

sudo apt-get install phonon4qt5-backend-null
And also...
sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get purge vlc* sudo apt-get purge libvlc* sudo apt-get autoremove
Still dependency hell.
sudo apt-get purge phonon-backend-gstreamer
Could a Debian bug.
reverse-depends phonon-backend-gstreamer Reverse-Depends =============== * auralquiz * phonon
Perhaps phonon should depend on virtual package phonon-backend rather than phonon-backend-gstreamer directly.

Results in a for the user confusing debconf question.
