Diodon no longer required message?
 
|
Good morning/afternoon/evening,
I understood that in 20.10 diodon is part of the officially supported packages and that clipit had been deprecated if not removed completely. So for the last few weeks instead of clipit I've been very happily using diodon which I actually prefer. Having a tidy up of my system I noticed clipit so thought I don't need it, I'll remove it. Hence:- sudo apt-get remove clipit Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: diodon libayatana-appindicator3-1 libayatana-ido3-0.4-0 libayatana-indicator3-7 libdiodon0 libxapian30 libxdo3 libzeitgeist-2.0-0 xdotool zeitgeist-core Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them... Now with the above I'm a tad concerned that in the future I might inadvertently use the autoremove option and not engage my MK I eyeballs properly and remove diodon. What is the status of diodon given my remarks in the first paragraph above? What should I be doing about this situation? -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.

Diodon is awesome I use it too, be careful removing old stuff as you never quite know what you may be losing On 10/12/2020 07:33, Mark Lawrence

If you manually install diodon so the system knows you want it then it will not autoremove it. When you tell it to install I think you will get a message saying marked as manually installed, or something similar.

I believe that ubuntu has put it on my system as a replacement for clipit but now it's telling me that it's no longer needed. -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.
