Yes it will. You dont understand what "no longer used" means in this
context. It means that this packages were autoinstalled by dependencies, but
there is currently nothing that depends on them because you uninstalled
trinity metapackages. You need to mark them as manually installed to stop
apt from suggesting to remove them.

All of them are metapackages, your dont need them to run either trinity or

No, as i said above, they are not "excess".

You have both of them installed and working already.
