[EN] strange suggestions for autoremove

[xerol]

Since last weekend, I have a very strange list of autoremovable packages:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt upgrade
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  aha               kde-spectacle                   libdisplay-info-bin    oxygen-sounds               python3-fuse
  bluedevil         kinfocenter                     libdraco8              partitionmanager            qml-module-org-kde-qqc2desktopstyle
  breeze-gtk-theme  kmenuedit                       libgavl2               plasma-browser-integration  qml-module-org-kde-sonnet
  bup               kscreen                         libhsakmt1             plasma-desktop              qml6-module-org-kde-baloo
  bup-doc           kup-backup                      libkglobalaccelmodel6  plasma-desktop-data         qml6-module-org-kde-graphicaleffects
  clinfo            kwrited                         libkpmcore13           plasma-desktop-doc          qml6-module-org-kde-kirigamiaddons-tableview
  cryfs             libboost-chrono1.88.0           libplacebo351          plasma-disks                qml6-module-org-kde-networkmanager
  freerdp-wayland   libboost-filesystem1.88.0       libscim8v5             plasma-nm                   vulkan-tools
  freerdp3-wayland  libboost-program-options1.88.0  libvolk3.2             plasma-vault                wayland-utils
  ibus-data         libboost-thread1.88.0           libxml++2.6-2v5        plasma5-integration
  kde-config-sddm   libcrypto++8t64                 ocean-sound-theme      polkit-kde-agent-1
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

Summary:
  Upgrading: 0, Installing: 0, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 0

As I am using KDE, I asume that this is not correct - at least for the plasma packages and related kde files. Obviously this is not a general problem because two other siduction systems do not show this behaviour.

Any suggestions, how I can repair this? I thought of manually reinstalling the required packages, but probably there is a more sophisticated solution?

You've removed one or more packages to make these no longer required. I would check the logs to see what it may have been.

apt depends and apt rdepends may be useful as well.

A simple

Code: [Select]

apt install kde-plasma-desktop

seemed to repair everything.
Though the package itself was already installed (i still could use kde), there was something missing in the package registry.

apt came up with:

Code: [Select]

Installing:
  kde-plasma-desktop
                                                                                                                                                                                           
Installing dependencies:
  kde-baseapps

and

Code: [Select]

Selecting previously unselected package kde-baseapps.
(Reading database… 627458 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack …/kde-baseapps_4%3a25.04.0+5.167_amd64.deb…
Unpacking kde-baseapps (4:25.04.0+5.167)…
Selecting previously unselected package kde-plasma-desktop.
Preparing to unpack …/kde-plasma-desktop_5%3a167_amd64.deb…

"previously unselected package..." was probably the reason.
