Public bug reported:
Steps:
1. Install a package that does not download any additional dependencies (i.e.
all its dependencies are installed already).
2. Uninstall that new package by doing an apt-get remove <package_name>.
You will then get an output that recommends you use apt-get autoremove
after completion of this operation to remove said package, even though
your current operation is doing exactly that. It is not necessary to
also run autoremove since the current operation is already removing that
same package.
For example, I just installed a .deb I had made of the filezilla ftp
client. I installed it. Then when I removed it using apt-get remove
filezilla, I got the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get remove filezilla
Password:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
filezilla
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
filezilla
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking, 6300kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
