I'd like to remove only the fortunes-husse package on linux mint. Is there a way to remove this that won't remove all parent packages?

Instead of removing fortunes-husse you could make it into a backup of itself by renaming it using:
sudo mv /usr/bin/fortunes-husse /usr/bin/fortunes-husse-backup
sudo apt-get remove fortunes-husse. Unfortunately mintsystem depends on this package and removal would cause mintsystem and 7 other packages to be removed. – karel Jun 17 '15 at 16:40rm /usr/bin/fortunes-husseor something? – Darth Egregious Jun 17 '15 at 17:38sudo mv /usr/bin/fortunes-husse /usr/bin/fortunes-husse-backup– karel Jun 22 '15 at 13:21
