While trying running the command apt upgrade. It shows the list of package that are no longer required.

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
android-libboringssl android-libsparse cron-daemon-common dh-dkms
gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1 isympy-commo
But when I try to remove them using apt autoremove. It doesn't remove any anything.

I'm trying to understand why this is happening.
Ideally, if there is no dependency on the packages, apt autoremove should remove those packages.
sudo apt full-upgradeover 1000 packages are waiting for that. – nobody Jul 02 '22 at 09:01
