evening, folks . . .
i just attempted to install a deb package, which failed for the lack of some qt5 widgets. so i ran apt-get -f install, and after it ran it informed me of this: The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: acpi amarok-common-trinity amarok-engine-xine-trinity amarok-trinity arts-trinity bluetooth bluez-utils crystalcursors desktop-effects-tde-trinity dmz-cursor-theme fonts-arabeyes foo2zjs fortune-mod fortunes-min fotoxx-common gir1.2-ges-1.0 gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-0.10 gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 gir1.2-gstreamer-0.10 gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 gstreamer1.0-gnonlin gtk-qt-engine-trinity gtk3-tqt-engine-trinity gwenview-trinity kaffeine-trinity karm-trinity katapult-trinity kbstate-trinity kdbusnotification-trinity keep-trinity kmag-trinity kmailcvt-trinity kmousetool-trinity kmplayer-base-trinity kmplayer-konq-plugins-trinity konversation-trinity kopete-trinity kpf-trinity kppp-trinity krdc-trinity krfb-trinity ksplash-engine-moodin-trinity ksystemlog-trinity ktorrent-trinity kubuntu-default-settings-trinity kubuntu-konqueror-shortcuts-trinity kvkbd-trinity landscape-client landscape-common lftp libavahi-tqt-1 libccfits0 libcfitsio3 libdbus-tqt-1-1c2 libges-1.0-0 libifp4 libjs-sphinxdoc libmp4v2-2 libnjb5 libqt5concurrent5 libraw9 librsync1 libscim8c2a min12xxw pnm2ppa powermanagement-interface pxljr python-gst-1.0 python-pylibacl python-pyxattr qt4-tqt-theme-engine rdesktop rdiff-backup scim-bridge-client-qt scim-im-agent scim-modules-socket screen speedcrunch splix strigi-daemon synaptic-trinity tqca-tls ttf-arabeyes ttf-arphic-ukai ttf-arphic-uming ttf-lao ttf-malayalam-fonts ttf-thai-tlwg ttf-unfonts-core
now, clearly some of these i really do not need -- ttf-malayalam-fonts comes to mind -- but there's a lot of trinity stuff that is listed here. am i safe in telling it that, yes, it may autoremove these? it seems a little much.

You removed some trinity related desktop metapackage (from this list i think if was one of the redmond-default packages). You should either reinstall that metapackage or check this list carefully and mark anything you actually need as manually installed. Nothing in this list is system-critical, its mostly multimedia and weird languages input/display stuff, but you probably want to keep some of this (notice there is lftp, screen, rdesktop, rdiff-backup and bluez on this list)
