Is it possible for anyone to use list attached here (packages going to be removed by apt-get autoremove) for judgement if it safe to complete apt-get autoremove?
Question above arises as previous attempt to conduct autoremove completed in Bionic Beaver without graphical environment.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]


The goal is to preserve B. Beavers original graphical stack even if to do apt-get autoremove.

    Is it safe? Yes, it won't cripple your base Ubuntu system. Is it desirable? Probably not, since it's not clear what your ultimate goal is. You might wind up reinstalling a bunch of those packages later.

  • Ultimate goal here is to prune all packages with zero reverse (upward)-dependencies. For apt-get autoremove to report zero removable packages. Exact as it was in 10.04 LTS prior to upgrading to B. Beaver.
