[Y/n] ^C I would really appreciate it, especially for working with scripts and logging. Sometimes I do invoke apt-get install 10 times in the script, and because of this "autoremove" noise, it is is very noisy and harder to analyse. PS. I tried messing with APT::NeverAutoRemove=".*", but it doesn't help. PS. I know there is -qq, but I think it then removes TOO much information. I.e. I still want to see what was attempted, have confirmation prompt, and version of packages (-V) visble, etc. Regards, Witold -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "amd64"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "1"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Sandbox ""; APT::Sandbox::User "_apt"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-[a-z0-9]*$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-[a-z0-9]*-[a-z0-9]*$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-.*-5\.9\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-.*-5\.9\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-.*-5\.9\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-.*-5\.9\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-.*-5\.9\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-.*-5\.9\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-modules-5\.9\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-modules-5\.9\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-kernel-5\.9\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-kernel-5\.9\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages ""; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "kfreebsd-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "gnumach-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-modules"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-kernel"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "contrib/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "non-free/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/metapackages"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections ""; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "contrib/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "non-free/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "restricted/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "universe/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "multiverse/oldlibs"; APT::Periodic ""; APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1"; APT::Update ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "/usr/bin/test -e /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.service && /usr/bin/test -S /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket && /usr/bin/gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.PackageKit --object-path /org/freedesktop/PackageKit --timeout 4 --method org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged cache-update > /dev/null; /bin/echo > /dev/null"; APT::Update::Post-Invoke ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke:: "[ ! -x /usr/bin/debtags ] || debtags update || true"; APT::Architectures ""; APT::Architectures:: "amd64"; APT::Architectures:: "i386"; APT::Compressor ""; APT::Compressor::.

Default is no. The first two values do what you would expect, the third one takes me back to a time than I was a new apt contributor as I implemented it than this was requested the last time 11 years ago in #537450. It will print the small line: 42 packages were automatically installed and are no longer required. The option is not mentioned in any man page, but given this is requested once a (literal) decade this seems fine as they are not really meant to list each and every option the way they currently are – and changing that is perpetual vaporware. The option is covered by our testcases though, so it won't break and/or disappear unnoticed anytime soon if that's what you fear by being undocumented. I am therefore closing as "available already".
