Good time of the day, Gábor. You wrote: I run the autoremove and I reinstall packages which I need again so this question not question now. Or You could simply mark them as being manually installed.

Apt-get autoremove question
Hi, When I run the command apt-get autoremove it wants to remove 115 packages, for example network-manager, network-manager-gnome, software-center, update-manager-core, update-manager-gnome, update-notifier, update-notifier-common. But I don't want to remove these because I think they are important system packages. Don't they are? Why autroremove wants to remove they now? I was know that autoremove usually helps cleaning my system safely so I used it a lot before without problem.

You probably removed some (meta)package that depended on those packages. I was know that autoremove usually helps cleaning my system safely so I used it a lot before without problem. If it were so safe the operation would have been performed automatically, don't you think[1]? It's not going to destroy your system[2], but I wouldn't run the sequence apt-get autoremove apt-get clean from a cronjob ;) [1] aptitude does, but it can be argued that it's primary mode of operation is the interactive one, where the admin can still decide to mark some packages as manually installed before proceeding.

I would suggest you use 'apt-mark' to keep what packages you need and then 'autoremove' the rest. If in doubt about a particular package read the long description carefully (apt-cache show package) and ask here if you don't understand something.
