There are three types of dependencies: + depended = required + recommended = optional + suggested = optional While the required dependencies are pretty straightforward, the optional can lead to misunderstanding of the autoremove function, because some from these optional can be dependencies not only for eog, bot for another (previously installed) packages too, the they can be left in system after the autoremove usage. I am using aptitude mostly, there is /var/log/aptitude, which i am checking, when i am playing/trying with new packages, to manually remove all installed packages. And i am using the aptitude without auto installing recommended packages too. You can read apt-get manpage, if this is possible in apt-get too. And, uninstalling package in aptitude sometime take two (un)install steps, to remove unneeded dependencies, but because i am daily updating packages, they are removed at next day. regards -- Slavko http://slavino.sk
