Whenever I install packages by the command line, I always get a ton of suggested packages for autoremoval. Of coarse, most of those packages I actually need or use on a regular basis.
Below is the output of 'sudo apt-get install autoremove':
Code:
jenkinbr@jenkinbr:~$ sudo apt-get autoremove

I will also include my /etc/apt/sources.list, even though I highly doubt that this has anything to do with my problem:

Note that I run an offline installation of Ubuntu, and therefor cannot access the online repositories. I have to download the repositories and generate a download script using synaptic.
