I thought you were trying to do that since you removed/installed whisker-menu which is already installed by default, that and the fact you were using root to do such basic things. Remaster means modify the original .iso file; remove/install pkgs, make your own customizations, so it's a bit different.

Usually once should not use/become root unless strictly necessary, i.e. modify certain system files the regular user can't. It's a bit risky since you could damage your system beyond repair; root can do anything and that includes break things.

Fix:

1. DON'T DO ANYTHING AS ROOT
2. REFER TO RULE 1

now:

1. Open a Terminal, do:


--- Code: ---sudo apt-get remove xfce4-goodies
--- End code ---

or:


--- Code: ---sudo apt-get remove xfce4-goodies xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin
--- End code ---

go here - https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/xfce4-goodies

install the actual software you need, eg:


--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install xfce4-weather-plugin
--- End code ---

3.8 will no longer get updates and be secure, consider moving to Series 4.x or 5.x soon.

That actually worked bro, thank you!! ;)

I'm a newbie in Linux world and since a days ago I've had the following troubles when I want to install or remove packages:

I don't know what
--- Code: ---xfce4-goodies : Depends: xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin but it is not going to be installed
--- End code ---
is or means. And I neither know what is the
--- Code: ---apt-get -f install
--- End code ---
command use for.

When I run
--- Code: ---apt-get -f install
--- End code ---
I have the following response:

By the way, I'm running Linux Lite 3.8 for 32bits. Thanks!! ;)

Are you trying to modify/remaster Linux Lite .iso file? Looks like it. Mind you, everything is hard-coded and making a custom one might prove to be real difficult to achieve.
