How to use Ansible to autoremove unwanted package dependency with apt

To use Ansible to remove unwanted package dependencies with apt, you can use the apt module and the autoremove parameter.

Here's an example playbook that demonstrates how to use the apt module to remove unwanted package dependencies:

---
- hosts: all
  tasks:
  - name: Remove unwanted package dependencies
    apt:
      name: "*"
      state: absent
      autoremove: yes

This playbook will remove all packages and their dependencies that are no longer needed on the system. The autoremove parameter tells apt to remove dependencies that are no longer needed.

Note that this playbook will remove all packages on the system. If you only want to remove specific packages and their dependencies, you can specify the package names in the name parameter.
