  Subj: Bug#1110938: upgrade-reports: apt wants   
 XPost: linux.debian.bugs.dist 
  
 Package: upgrade-reports 
 Followup-For: Bug #1110938 
  
  
 As per subject, after a successful XFCE Bookworm to Trixie upgrade 
 apt suggests to autoremove network-manager-gnome among others: 
  
     root@debian4:~# apt upgrade 
     The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer 
 required: 
       libaio1       libexecs0  libfuse3-3  libunistring2 
 python3-pyatspi  python3-pysimplesoap  python3.11-minimal 
       libcapstone4  libfmt9    libnfs13    network-manager-gnome 
 python3-pycurl   python3.11 
     Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them. 
  
     Summary: 
       Upgrading: 0, Installing: 0, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 0

 I believe that this is happening because network-manager-gnome is a 
 transitional package in Trixie and was not manually installed: 
  
     magnus@debian4:~$ apt show network-manager-gnome 
     Package: network-manager-gnome 
     Version: 1.36.0-3+b1 
     Priority: optional 
     Section: oldlibs 
     Source: network-manager-applet (1.36.0-3)

     Installed-Size: 19.5 kB 
     Depends: network-manager-applet (= 1.36.0-3+b1), nm-connection-editor 
 (= 1.36.0-3+b1)

     Description: transitional package for network-manager-applet and 
 nm-connection-editor 
      NetworkManager is a system network service that manages your network 
 devices 
      and connections, attempting to keep active network connectivity when 
      available. It manages ethernet, Wi-Fi, mobile broadband (WWAN), and 
 PPPoE 
      devices, and provides VPN integration with a variety of different 
 VPN 
      services. 
      . 
      This transitional package depends on network-manager-applet 
 (shipping 
      nm-applet which provides a notification area applet for controlling 
      NetworkManager) and nm-connection-editor (a network connection 
 configuration 
      editor for NetworkManager). 
      . 
      It can be removed safely once no other package depends on it. 
  
     magnus@debian4:~$ 
  
  
 In fact task-xfce-desktop now depends on network-manager-applet and 
 nm-connection-editor and not anymore on network-manager-gnome: 
  
     task-xfce-desktop: recommends transitional network-manager-gnome 
     https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1086831 
  
  
 HTH, Magnus
