You may have noticed the line
The following
packages were automatically
installed and are no longer required
in the output. To keep things small and
modular, many Linux packages are broken into software units that many
different programs might use.
When you installed Snort, you installed sev-
eral dependencies or libraries with it that Snort requires in order to run.
Now that you’re removing Snort, those other libraries or dependencies are
no
longer required, so they can be removed by running
apt autoremove
.
