You right, my error, it was PackageView and WifiInfo. Gonvert had another problem.

Application Manager removes unneeded libraries and other packages automatically.
I removed libilliumination0 after removal both, PackageView and WifiInfo. I don't know why I needed it but my goal was - return to previous libillumination0 version - PackageView started inserting empty lines between list of files (actually anywhere) and a simple it's reinstallation with previous version didn't help. I looked into it's dependency and noted that WifiInfo also depends from libillumination0 and removed both and after that explicitly replaced libillumination0 with older version via dpkg. To do it, I WAS forced to delete a newer version of libillumination0 via red pill of Application manager.

Of course, I payed attention that where is no packages which use libillumination0 beyond PackageView and WifiInfo.

AM removes only packages which were installed with AM, so if you've been using apt-get or dpkg, autoremoval might not work.
Fine, but GeneralAntilles suggest me to USE apt-get -

Can you discuss this with him and find some common approach first - do use or not to use apt-get, to get AM auto-removal working? Some acceptable framework...


(After that it is possible to find out why I was forced to explicitly remove libillumination0 after removal of both packages - AM reports dependency from only two packages and both were removed and replaced later with previous versions)


Bottom line: I vote for removal of any restriction in AM because there is no red pill anymore. Just to view ALL packages. Of course, AM should reject removal if there is a dependency from other packages. But it should be possible to see anything.
