<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Brian, You are probably safe to use autoremove under apt. The reason is that newer releases and kernels are already installed and you can check. "uname -r' will give you the kernel you are running, likely a number greater than 5.4.0-176. I don't recognize others, but if you had to eliminate or update particular browsers, brave, chromium, and they are still installed the command 'chromium-browser --version' will give you the installed version. A problem with chromium is it is sometimes "chromium" and others "chromium-browser" depending how Ubuntu labelled it in your release. You may also have modified applications and versions, which will impact dependencies. Still nothing should break with "autoremove" in apt.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Hope you are well. We had a good time getting a Debian 12 install done at the last meeting.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Thank you, Ted P<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 27, 2024 at 3:30 PM Brian O'Keefe <<a href="mailto:okeefe@cybermesa.com">okeefe@cybermesa.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<p>Hello All. This is a long bit of info but I'm hoping someone can
advise.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Running Ubuntu 20.04 on ASUS laptop, AMD64. I have done an upgrade, "sudo apt upgrade". To run the upgrade I had to uninstall 13 [Package]* i386 as dependencies were broken. That's all fine now though I may need to reinstall some for functionality. However, the "apt upgrade" offers to auto remove many packages which seem, some, important. I'm very reluctant to remove them. Here they are and if anyone can advise I'd really appreciate it.</span></p>
