Subject: 26.3; useful packages auto-removed
Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2021 16:52:45 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi

- I have a lot of packages installed

- When I hit "M-x package-autoremove" , some of the packages I use on an
  every day basis got removed automatically.

- E.g. recently "mode-icons" and "EIN" got removed whereas I need them!

I don't know what are the criteria used to detect a package is not used
anymore, but clearly some of my packages got removed abusively. 

Is it because both old & new versions exist together? (in this case the
new version should be left in place)

Is it because a package contains only icons/no code? (in this case the
package manager should be informed to add some empty code or some
similar hack?)

Is there any counter of number of usage/date of last usage? (in this
case it should not be 0'd or the threshold considered for removal should
be lower).

Whatever is the case my frequently used & useful packages should not be
removed by "package-autoremove"

NOTE: I just cleared most of my packages and reinstalleed the most
important ones. When I hit "M-x package-autoremove" I'm faced with the
message:
"11 packages will be deleted:
with-editor, polymode, org-ref, mode-icons, key-chord, helm-bibtex, ein, bibtex-completion, biblio-core, biblio, anaphora, proceed? (y or n) n
"
It is not normal as I just freshly reinstalled at least org-ref,
mode-icons, and ein because I need them.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

That command removes packages that were not installed explicitly, but
were installed as a dependency for package(s) that you've later removed.

"Not used" is not the criterion.

Did that command remove anything that you hadn't installed explicitly?
I tested the command here, but it seems like it's working as designed
for me.

If you see a bug here, do you have a recipe to reproduce it, starting
from "emacs -Q"?

More information was requested, but none was given within 12 months, so
I'm closing this bug.  If this is still an issue, please reply to this
email (use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can reopen the
