I have no idea. I run squeeze. I just mean, whatever package is currently being autoremoved that you want installed, mark it instally by apt-get install 'packagename'. -- Liam signature.asc Description: Digital signature

"apt-get autoremove" is aimed to delete packages that has been automatically pulled by dependencies so unless you got it as a "side effect" when installing another package this looks not normal :-?

Apt says it's okay to remove chromium, but I use it
I wanted to install unzip, unrar, and bzip2 and found out I already have those packages installed. During the console output, I get this notification from apt: root@john:/home/john# apt-get install unrar unzip bzip2 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done unrar is already the newest version. bzip2 is already the newest version. unzip is already the newest version. The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: chromium-inspector chromium libxss1 Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. root@john:/home/john# So when I run "apt-get autoremove" it removes chromium (or chromium-browser, I think they changed the name of the package in wheezy, possibly). I use that as my browser, so I don't know why apt would be telling me. Is there a way I can lock this or tell apt I use that chromium package?
