@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 removing newly unused packages would be a reasonable default for u-u and update-manager. I agree that Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies=true is riskier than having it disabled but it still removes a subset of what Remove-Unused- Dependencies=true would thus Remove-Unused-Dependencies=true would be more risky. Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies=true is needed to clean up old kernel packages filling up /boot (and the whole disk). If update-manager defaults to that by default, too, the system won't break itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1624644 Title: Unable to automatically remove packages that become unused in conjunction with updating by other software To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1624644/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
