Are those packages safe to remove?

[fezzy]

Hello,
I installed semi-rolling Sparky and I love it, but ever since installation, the following thing is bugging me every time I try to upgrade:

Code Select Expand

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  g++-12 gdisk libblockdev-fs2 libblockdev-loop2 libblockdev-part-err2 libblockdev-part2 libblockdev-swap2 libblockdev2 libcodec2-1.0 libcolamd2
  libhttp-cookiejar-perl libplacebo264 libsdl-image1.2 libstdc++-12-dev libsuitesparseconfig5 libunique-1.0-0
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
I customized Sparky to my likings and I don't want it to break on me, are those packages really safe to remove? Or even better, is there any way how to keep them and get rid of that message? I have plenty of space, I don't mind.

Those programs are dependencies that are not used anymore by the system.

Like the error says..

"Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them."

I removed all those packages using sudo apt autoremove.

And, no problem at all:





However, it is always interesting to keep a list of those packages that were 'autoremoved'
(For what may happen later).
