Hello.
The shimmer-themes metapackage depends on greybird-gtk-theme and numix-
gtk-theme so that they are pulled at the same time. If you remove that
package, there is no longer anything that depends on numix-gtk-theme so
it would also be removed with autoremove.
As thad-fisch indicated, using one of those two commands (marking as manual,
installing while installed) will mark it as manually installed. This is a
preferred solution when manually removing metapackages:
sudo apt-mark manual numix-gtk-theme
sudo apt-get install numix-gtk-theme
"I don't call that a simple solution for end users."
Packages are only auto-removed when using the commandline utilities,
specifically with "apt-get autoremove". If you're using these commands, it is
unlikely that you're a beginner user. Since you're in the terminal, if
numix-gtk-theme is removed, simply install it back and it will be marked as
manually installed.
Marking this one as invalid, the metapackage is working as expected.
** Changed in: shimmer-themes (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
