  Actual Bug report log
  ==================

  $ sudo apt-get autoremove 
  [sudo] password for srini: 
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
    ibm-print-us-ppd autofs fakeroot libcvsservice0 elinks-data libnfsidmap2 ibm-global-print
    python-libxslt1 debhelper intltool-debian libcrypt-ssleay-perl libnet-ssleay-perl chkconfig
    ibm-java-installer icaclient libevent1 po-debconf klinkstatus agnclient ibm-print-emea-ppd
    ibm-firewall libecryptfs0 libtspi1 libpam-passwdqc tidy libtidy-0.99-0 gettext librpcsecgss3
    ibm-print-ipselect java-package libuser1 kfilereplace kommander libtimedate-perl
    libwww-mechanize-perl dpkg-dev libpkcs11-helper1 gsa-client ldap-utils ecryptfs-utils
    ibm-wst html2text ibm-regtool libio-socket-ssl-perl libgssglue1 ipr-cmd portmap ibmsam
    nfs-common libmotif3 usermode quanta-data
  Hmm, seems like the AutoRemover destroyed something which really
  shouldn't happen. Please file a bug report against apt.

  The following information may help to resolve the situation:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    connectivity-layer: Depends: agnclient but it is not going to be installed
                        Depends: icaclient but it is not going to be installed

                    Depends: ibm-print-emea-ppd but it is not going to be installed
  E: Internal Error, AutoRemover broke stuff
