Installing libav-tools
and ubuntu-restricted-extras
also installs these new packages:
cabextract chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra freepats gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse

However, apt-get autoremove libav-tools ubuntu-restricted-extras
only removes the following:
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse libav-tools libavcodec-extra
libavdevice55 libavfilter5 libfaac0 ubuntu-restricted-extras
Why doesn't autoremove
remove all packages that were installed alongside those I initially wanted installed and now want removed? How can I remove these dependencies automatically, while removing the packages they were installed along with? It looks as if I would have to somehow keep track of all the dependencies that were installed alongside each desired package, so I could remove them manually when I wanted to remove the initially desired package.
libav-tools
andubuntu-restricted-extras
. What if you run theapt-get autoremove
for the two packages separately? Alternatively, you can use theaptitude
instead ofapt-get
. It does things more intelligently. It doesn't haveautoremove
, but Remove option. – user3317287 May 6 '15 at 21:27aptitude why cabextract
and some other packages if the output differs. – gertvdijk May 6 '15 at 22:46
