The above will not be uninstalled unless you run apt-get autoremove They were installed because the meta-package 'gnome' depended upon them. 'gnome' also depends on mono, so in removing mono you must remove gnome. Now that nothing depends on them, apt* reckons they're no longer required, but because you've not specifically told it to uninstall them it will not remove them. > The following packages will be REMOVED > gnome* libart2.0-cil* libgconf2.0-cil* libglade2.0-cil* > libglib2.0-cil* libgmime2.4-cil* libgnome-vfs2.0-cil* > libgnome2.24-cil* libgnomepanel2.24-cil* libgtk2.0-cil* > libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil* libmono-addins0.2-cil* > libmono-cairo2.0-cil* libmono-corlib2.0-cil* > libmono-i18n-west2.0-cil* libmono-posix2.0-cil* > libmono-security2.0-cil* libmono-sharpzip2.84-cil* > libmono-system2.0-cil* libndesk-dbus-glib1.0-cil* > libndesk-dbus1.0-cil* mono-2.0-gac* mono-gac* mono-runtime* tomboy* 0 > upgraded, 0 newly installed, 25 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
