Anyway, it would be good, if other software could optionally remove new unused
packages.
I do not consider Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies as an
reasonable default option for unattended-upgrades before the feature has been
released for at least apt, update-manager, gnome-soft
I meant deciding which packages are excessive or unneeded should be
possible also after upgrading, not only in conjunction with upgrading.
I still do not get it why advanced users could not make sure the
packages needed by their not packaged software is not marked as manually
installed.

Unable to automatically remove packages that become unused in

To manage n
I think removing "newly unused" packages is an ugly hack. Deciding which
packages are excessive or unneeded should not depend on how some
packages were removed previously. If the reason for this automatic
remove thing is to get rid of excessive kernels, a specific tool for
that could be used. I hav
@Jarno I added update-manager based on my experience with (less
experienced) users, who kept their system up-to-date by saying yes to
everything regarding updates which popped up on their system.
They never touched apt or synaptic nor installed packages by themselves
by other means.

I think less advanced users do not install software that is not
packaged. Advanced users can configure system to work as they wish. IMO
currently Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies is more
risky as default.

B
rbalint, user could mark such packages as manually installed (by apt-
mark), so autoremove will not remove them.
If you mark update-manager affected, you should mark other updaters,
too. E.g. 'apt full-upgrade' or Synaptic will not remove newly unused
packages, right?

Added update-manager as affected package because update-manager is the
tool leaving newly unused packages around.

@Jarno: IMO Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies is already a risky
option and I don't recommend enabling it because it may remove packages which
are not used according the to package-dependency chain but which users rely on
using software that is not packaged.

I suggest marking that bug as Won't Fix.

Besides:
If you do not want automatic updates, but just automatic removal of unnecessary
software including kernels, you could have 'Download and install updates
automatically' set, but edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades to have
only comments within Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origin
A fix could be adding line
Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true";
in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
But does it remove too many packages? Why was
Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies "true";
setting ever added?

I run /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal on each boot. That also makes the

I find that on most times the bug occurs, but not always. Though it has
caused me some problems before with /boot filling up and me being forced
to manually remove the old kernels.
