That should help to figure out when it was installed.

Sure, of course I can uninstall them. The thing is, I *never* installed them
at all; I would have noticed something like THAT.
Therefore, one would think, I ought not have to install or uninstall them now.

So ... to add the question to my own non-answer: Are all those language packs, by some
chance, included as part of some other packages or metapackages, or whatever?
I am quite sure that I never installed them at all, as I would have noticed when apt-get
listed them as packages to be installed or upgraded; only with this recent upgrade did
they suddenly offer themselves.
In fact I did have to uninstall them manually, after which they did not appear among
items to be upgraded. So it's not a critical problem, and now they are gone, problem
solved for the moment.
The real question is, How did they get installed in the first place? Assuming that I
didn't just go temporarily blind and miss something so obvious, then the next most
likely possibility is that they get installed as dependencies for other items, or that
they are part of a metapackage. Can anybody answer this question? as I would prefer not to
install these or other unwanted packages. Now that I checked my own sources.list, it
occurred to me to try an
upgrade, and there are lots of new Trinity packages available. However,
many of these are language packs that I don't really need:

Is there any way to upgrade without also downloading ALL of these?!?! I
am pretty sure I did not install earlier versions of these packages.
IMO this should not happen. Can't you uninstall them?
