The last time I used sudo apt-get autoremove
, nearly every important display driver or parts got deleted. This made me very squeamish about using the command again. However, each time I install something or use apt-get update
the terminal reads:
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
devilspie libturbojpeg:i386 libxrandr-ltsr2 language-pack-kde-en
kde-l10n-engb language-pack-kde-en-base libxv1:i386 libllvm3.2
libllvm3.2:i386 linux-generic-lts-raring
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
I tried the command clean
and the messages stops displaying for a while. My question is whether it's safe running the autoremove
command, or will I lose everything once again? Is there a way of checking how safe it is to use autoremove
in this particular (or any) case?
