Why not?

Why don't you want to "loose [sic] them"?

If apt-get, or even Update Manager, is telling you that they are not 
required anymore, why do you want to keep them?

It's probably doing this because the programs which you want to keep 
will conflict with upgrades.

So, the question is: why do you want to keep those you told should be 
removed?
