Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be upgraded:
mx-snapshot (16.11mx16 => 16.11mx16+1)
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 79.5 kB of archives.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.

Is it "safe" to remove all these packages?

I just used Synaptic to upgrade mx-snapshot. Going to let those files that are "no longer required" hang around for a while. Can't hurt to just ignore them can it?

I will fire up a VM over lunch in order to confirm that the packages it wants to remove are correct. Will let you know what I find in a bit.

i get this glitch few dozens times in many Debian-based distros. It happens only with Synaptic, not with apt-get.

As a simple rule of thumb, if Synaptic ask me to remove more than 5 packages, I simply ignore it. Sometimes, if your choice is to remove them anyway, you will discover that possibly many packs installed after your original install will need to be removed also ...

After an full update via apt-get followed by an Synaptic reload things should go back to normal.

Hmm, I just ran through 40ish updates on a MX15 VM and didn't see anything for autoremove. I guess I didn't ask, is this a MX15 or MX16 beta install?
Could you please post the output of inxi -r?

This is what I get running inxi -r:

P.S. Just ran Synaptic and it all went away. Guess it's a non-issue now!

Don't use the multimedia repo.
It is asking for trouble (and why it is not used as default)

What should I use for mulitmedia?

use our hosted packages. is there something in deb-multimedia (which is not run by debian by the way) you need?

or, like our mx-packageinstaller does for a few apps, enable deb-multi, install app, then disable deb-multi.

Thanks! Have everything I need. Disabled it!
