Well this does work in Trusty, Ubuntu 14.04, perhaps this is a regression in support "Never-MarkAuto-Sections"? One thing to note is that using 'apt-mark' I saw that vino was marked as manual on Ubuntu 14.04, but automatic on Ubuntu 16.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

There were like 3 versions of metapackage auto removal, I don't remember exactly. I think in the beginning, we just autoremovef everything. Then we did not mark packages as automatically installed if installed by a meta package. Then we moved to moving the auto bit on uninstall, but maybe only

The get_auto_removable function in unattended-ugprades just checks to see if the package has the "is_auto_removable" flag set. So setting "Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies" to "true" will produce the same outcome as using "sudo apt autoremove" e.g.: bdmurray@clean-xenial-amd64:~$

Anyway, in my view Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true"; would be the default setting to have now, and advanced users should mark the dependencies of their unpackaged software as "manual". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is

It will remove the third newest kernel, but later, when the one you installed by "apt install" will become third newest, it will not be removed automatically. That is by design. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Brian, however, as you installed the kernel by apt-get install, the kernel becomes manually installed, and will not later be removed by 'sudo apt autoremove', unless you change it to be marked as automatically installed. I question the use of 'sudo apt autoremove' in this case. If its action was

[Bug 1624644] Re: By default settings unattended-upgrade is unable to automatically remove packages that become unused in conjunction with updating by other software.

I found the description somewhat confusing because 'Unattended-Upgrade ::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies "true"; doesn't actually exist in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades, rather that's the default setting in unattended-upgrades since 0.90. Regardless, I was able to recreate the issue on
