"No it doesn't. It only removes those that were previously installed as a
dependency of another package, but no longer are depended on by any package.
If you install a package not as a dependency of another package, autoremove
won't remove it."
If you say. That doesn't match my experience though. I became tired of always
re-installing it and put the packages on hold to prevent their removal.
"Anyway, the thing that matters you should always look through the list and
see if you really want to remove the packages, because you might still want
to keep something."
Which was precisely my original message. Thanks for confirming that.
