Apt Wants To Remove Wanted Apps?!
 

Ok - so I normally always remove "gnome-games" using apt.

# apt-get remove --purge gnome-games

Ever since I have done this, I am now getting the following message when I use APT-GET:

"The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them."

If I do this, I lose my window manager and many apps I normally use so basically I lose all GUI function of my PC which sucks.

Anyone know how to resolve this problem?

don't run autoremove.

Looks like a dependency has gone a little wrong somewhere, you could wait for Sid to fix itself, or if desperate, apt-get install {any package you want to keep}. This will mark the package manually installed, and it will no longer appear in autoremove's crosshairs.

I still think just not running it would solve the problem rather nicely...

TC, whenever you run apt-get with *anything*, or are you actually running apt-get autoremove?
