By the way, what does obsolete packages mean in synoptic (could not find
anything about it in the help)? Is it like with aptitude? I preferred aptitude
over apt-get because it would remove useless packages whenever the dependencies
of main packages would change. Is this what synoptic means by obsolete packages?
Since synaptic does a better dependency check, you could try to remove
any of those packages and see if doing that results in further removal
actions. If they dont, then they are 'useless packagaes' :-)
These 2 links may help a little too
