No, netplan should not be auto removed, as many other things in the list you pasted should not be removed too as far as I can tell.
Like, it's pretty weird that groff-base, isc-dhcp-client isc-dhcp- common, libglib2.0-bin, etc are in the autoremove list. I suppose you removed something at some point that made these packages to become not needed anymore. Do you have ubuntu-minial and/or cloud-init installed? netplan.io is a dependency of these packages, if they are not present apt will suggest netplan.io is not required anymore. ** Changed in: netplan.io (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083699 Title: netplan.io gets removed on apt autoremove To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netplan.io/+bug/2083699/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
