The last comment of mine regarding "official xenial repository" is wrong - I installed virtualbox from the virtualbox.org provided repository.
The virtualbox package from virtualbox.org has Recommends: [...] module-init-tools, linux-headers-generic | linux- headers-generic-pae | linux-headers-686-pae | linux-headers-amd64 | linux-headers-2.6-686 | linux-headers-2.6-amd64 | linux-headers, linux- image, gcc, make | [...] whereas the official ubuntu 'virtualbox' packages does not recommends linux-* packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472351 Title: autoremove keeps *all* providers of virtual rdeps unconditionally Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, i'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I have an issue with autoremove command. The point is that I have Virtualbox package installed that has following tag: Recommends: linux-headers As a result autoremove marks all of linux-headers-*/linux-headers-*-generic packages as required and declines to sweep them.
