Confirmed. It seems that even packages you installed manually using dpkg
-i or GDebi are considered as obsolete. This means from the moment you
installed them, CJ wants to remove them. I guess there's a way to find
out whether they were installed from a repository that is now disabled,
or if the user explicitly installed them.
One of the common errors I can see with this is libdvdcss2, which most
people install to read DVDs. It's installed by the script in
/usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh: users don't know they need
it, and removal may break their encrypted DVDs support without noticing.
** Summary changed:
- It marks things i actually use (explicitly installed) as unused, clogs up
while "analyzing the system"
+ Don't mark for removal manually installed packages
** Changed in: computer-janitor (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Medium
** Changed in: computer-janitor (Ubuntu)
