Hi Jidanni, 積丹尼 Dan Jacobson wrote: > It turns out all one needs is > APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant false; I was indeed not aware of that configuration option, probably because I wouldn't dare to use it. But that's probably because I personally rely a lot on Recommends and Suggest to keep packages installed. :-) But you're right: The default you're regularily annoyed about (and I'm fine with :-) seems to be able to be changed. So thanks for pointing out the all the missing documentation details in your recent bug reports — and sorry for not being able to point you to what might have helped you in the first place. I'll go over those documentation bug reports in some calm hours, but probably not before the Stretch release.

Control: tag -1 + moreinfo Dear Jidanni, 積丹尼 Dan Jacobson wrote: > # aptitude install tlp > also installs hdparm, > but then > # aptitude purge tlp > does not remove it. this is expected if any other package Recommends or Suggests hdparm. So please tell us: Do you have any of these packages installed on this system? education-common, hibernate, laptop-mode-tools, ocsinventory-agent, pm-utils, sitesummary-client, munin-node, or plainbox-provider-checkbox? Especially the powermanagement related packages are quite common on laptops. If so, this is clearly yet another duplicate of your bug reports #822582 and #840902 which are both marked as wontfix.
