I didn't assume. In both posts he described autoclean's function, but said
he expected autoremove to do it.

I was installing something this morning (I don't

autoremove, and that would save >400MB.
Slavek is correct that autoremove shouldn't have uninstalled packages that
were still in use, but I'm wondering if maybe there was a good reason it
thought they were no longer required. Since you installed Trinity, have you
uninstalled any of the metapackages, but left the packages they installed?
That would make apt-get think the packages they installed were no longer
needed, and autoremove would uninstall them.
