In both posts he described autoclean's function, but said he expected autoremove to do it. On 03/03/2020 11:21 AM, D. R.

Slavek is correct that autoremove shouldn't have uninstalled packages that were still in use, but I'm wondering if maybe there was a good reason it thought they were no longer required. Since you installed Trinity, have you uninstalled any of the metapackages, but left the packages they installed? That would make apt-get think the packages they installed were no longer needed, and autoremove would uninstall them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
