removed hd-idle and/or transmission, got it back after next autmatic updater run…
You should uncheck NAS user list and install what you need by hand or use Uninstall "hd-idle" {priority=60} as workaround. But unchecking user list and installing just what you need is better option.
Gorgeous… Removed NAS package… And this unmounted my msata, which hosted /var and /tmp…
Let’s hope the system comes back… 
No answer till now, seems I bricked it… 
nas.lua contains more than “NAS related stuff”. It contains basic stuff like “mountd” “mount-utils” and son on.
DO NOT REMOVE NAS PACKAGE WHEN EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL DRIVE CONNECTED!
When I am at home I will try a 2-LED-reset…
If you remove NAS group you need install “kmod-ata-mvebu-ahci” for the mSATA to be recognized. If you use other file system different to “btrfs” you will need install the related file system packages too. And for mount it you will need “mount-utils”.
I did not get it when @cynerd said what should be included. But it has to look like this.
/etc/updater/user.lua
– [[
A place for user definitions.
Repository "name" "URI" { ca = "file:///etc/ssl/ca.pem", pubkey = "file:///etc/repo.pubkey" } Install "pkgname" "other"
]] Uninstall "luci-i18n-transmission-cs" "luci-i18n-transmission-en" "luci-app-transmission" "transmission-daemon-openssl" "luci-i18n-minidlna-cs" "luci-i18n-minidlna-en" "luci-app-minidlna" "minidlna" "mjpg-streamer" "luci-app-mjpg-streamer" {priority=60}
Here i have removed transmission, mnidlna and mjpgstreamer. Do keep in mind that this could also mess some of the things up. Look at my updater.sh output. Also keep in mind if you want some packages removed, you have to first uninstall the dependency then later on the last package. So to take transmission as an example. First “luci-i18n-transmission-cs” and “luci-i18n-transmission-en” because those are dependent on “luci-app-transmission” and that is dependent on “luci-app-transmission”.

It deletes also things like libffmpeg, which MAYBE some other application were or are using.

schnapps saved my life (sounds even stranger in native german 
), rollback to “Automatic pre-update snapshot” 
I have 24 snapshots…how do i delete those lets say 1-10 snapshots? Everything works fine so i don’t think i’m gonna need 1-10…
Let’s open another thread for this, Can a mod split the topic?
tried schnapps cleanup --compare 10 ?
Mkay… It worked i guess… Thanks. Is there something important to snapshot 7, 11, 12 , 16, 18?`
root@K-Router:/# schnapps cleanup --compare 10
Searching for snapshots without any change.
This can take a while, please be patient.

cleanup [--compare] Deletes old snapshots and keeps only N newest
You can set number of snapshots to keep in /etc/config/schnapps
Current value of N is following for various types (-1 means infinite):
* -1 single snapshots
* 5 time based snapshots
* 5 updater snapshots
* 3 rollback backups snapshots
With --compare option also deletes snapshots that doesn't differ from
the previous one

cynerd, so how to safely disable NAS user list and reinstall packages? 'cause disabling the NAS list kills my system. Having a list from nas.lua I want to keep.
Furthermore, how to deal with /etc/config/updater-opkg, as there are different entries as in my on /etc/config/updater. Thread is long and a maze and full of x-posts. Is there a guideline written anywhere?
Why even bother to remove the packages? Just disable startup of what you don’t intend on using and call it a day. As you’ve seen removing default installed packages can have unintended consequences. It isn’t worth the effort to untangle the web of dependencies and their consequences only to have to go through the same effort with the next update from Turris. It’s a game you’ll never win.

If you have some system partition mounted on external drive than of course that when you remove support for it it will be problematic. Sorry but today I forgot my crystal ball in Hogwards so I didn’t know about your mount points. Once again sorry about that.
Let me give you just less specific guideline, because let me make this clear, if anyone using this looses any data or breaks their TO, turris team isn’t responsible. So be sure that you know what are you doing (well in this case if you have snapshot and it should be ease to revert, but anyway you were warned).
You basically want just part of user list. https://api.turris.cz/openwrt-repo/omnia/lists/nas.lua So use Install command you found there and remove what you don’t want (here you really need to know what you need. So some expert knowledge is needed). Place it to /etc/update/user.lua. Then it should be safe to uncheck NAS user list for you.
But once again if you don’t have some huge reason for this, than just don’t do it. You might miss this way some software change and in result you might end up with old insecure system.
For you second question, just care about /etc/config/updater. Other file is just
backup of distributed file stored there so your original file wouldn’t be overwritten with new version.

Never blamed you, my fault not looking into the nas.lua before removing it, but you have to be careful to give quick advices like “uncheck user list and install …” when you do not know the user’s setup… I am settled now and not angry any more, because of the schnapps-thingi.
