when i run apt-get autoremove this is the output: root@trisquel7-gnu-linux:/home/tom# apt-get autoremove gnumeric Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED gnome-desktop-data gnumeric gnumeric-common gnumeric-doc linux-headers-3.13.0-43 linux-headers-3.13.0-43-generic linux-image-3.13.0-43-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-43-generic 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 8 to remove and 16 not to upgrade. After this operation, 305 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
so it looks like it will remove gnome-desktop-data when you uninstall it
