[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Lubuntu 14.04.4, new install:
.
1.  I manually and individually removed abiword, gnumeric, mtpaint, pidgin and audacious.  E.g., "sudo  apt-get remove abiword", etc.

2. In a new session, subsequent use of apt-get displays this

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

While some of these packages are, in fact, no longer needed, execution
of this autoremove suggestion would render the user's system unusable.

Essentially the same bug as the unresolved #1549310
