Does anyone know how to purge these packages without breaking the system?

gir1.2-unity-5.0 libunity-common libunity-protocol-private0 libunity9 unity-asset-pool unity-greeter

The goal is a Unity-free system. Maybe with Cinnamon.

Inspired by How to completely remove Unity, and replace it with Cinnamon?

This link http://thedarrenfiles.blogspot.com/2012/05/how-to-replace-unity-with-cinnamon-14.html says that gir1.2-unity-5.0, unity-asset-pool and libunity-common can be removed. Haven't tried it though.

First ensure you already have another Desktop Environment installed and start a session with it.

Then press Ctrl+Alt+T to go to a terminal and copy-paste the following:

sudo apt-get remove --purge gir1.2-unity-5.0 libunity-common libunity-protocol-private0 libunity9 unity-asset-pool unity-greeter
