It could be that an installed package recommends these packages you think should be autoremovable without problems. You could try to see that with e.g.: dpkg -l $(apt-cache rdepends kdebase-bin --important --recommends --no-depends --no-pre-depends | sed '/^[^ ]/ d') That should show you the install status of the packages recommending kdebase-bin, for example. If that is not the problem please include the files /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/apt/extended_status in a follow up. These files include infos about all packages you have installed, in which version and which automatic status they have - if you don't want to provide these information to the world you can also send them in private to me… Best regards, David Kalnischkies -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
