[EN] Somewhat risky experiment: apt autoremove

Yes, been there done that and got the Tee-shirt. Thanks Devil for reminding me, but I took it for granted that others would read what is being done as you say before hitting enter!

devil:
Even though it would make total sense to read what your computer tells you in critical situations, our experience in IRC tells us, that common sense does not always apply here. We even have candidates that repeatadly hit enter removing hundreds of packages to a point where it has become almost a running joke to place bets, when soandso will turn up with a broken system on such days.


So no, you cannot expect sane behaviour.  :o

Hi,
I prefer "debfoster". ;)

cheers

Hello dibl,
I'm a friend of apt-get autoremove, but I use it often to keep the list of removable packages really short.

Any breakage caused by autoremove is worth a bug report.

greetings
musca
