Today I installed Visual Studio Code and was facing unmet dependencies.
sudo dpkg -i code_1.9.1-1486596246_i386.deb

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of code:
code depends on libnss3; however:
Package libnss3 is not installed.

First I tried to install libnss3 manually.
sudo apt-get install libnss3

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libnss3 : Depends: libnspr4 (>= 2:4.12) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
So I went with āapt-get -f installā
sudo apt-get -f install

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
rinetd
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
The following extra packages will be installed:
libnspr4 libnss3
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libnspr4 libnss3

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
Why is rinetd not longer required? I didnāt uninstall anything. I expect rinetd it to be an important part of Whonix.
Should I continue with apt-get autoremove
