Autoremove appears to want to remove most of Gnome
Hi
Recently when installing a new package I noticed that apt-get seems to
want to remove most (all?) of my Gnome-related applications, suggesting
that I run "autoremove" to do so.
This is the (rather long) list:
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:

I am rather concerned about doing so, and wonder - am I being
unnecessarily paranoid or should I trust apt-get on this?
I am running an up-to-date version of Squeeze and Gnome is my preferred DE.
Thanks for any advice.
AG
