The following packages will be REMOVED:                                                                                                                     
  iptables xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse xserver-xorg-video-intel   


I think iptbales can be re-installed, xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse is safe to let go even for vbox users, but not sure of intel driver status.

apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel

Does the "Intel graphic factsheet" still apply? is the following still advised?

Code Select Expand


apt update ; apt purge xserver-xorg-video-intel ; apt install xserver-xorg-video-intel


Thanks.

Yes, I read them both, that's why I siad I think iptbales can be re-installed, etc.  It's not clear in the other long thread  which replies are answering which questions as folk tend not to use the quote facility. 

My question was really about the intel driver status which has been answered thank you.
