I am encountering a peculiar issue with Emacs's package management system where it is falsely recommending the removal of packages that I have explicitly installed via package-install. One such example is the markdown-mode package.I have installed the affected packages explicitly using M-x package-install, so they are not dependencies.
Emacs considers a package to be explicitly installed if (and only if, I think) it's listed in 'package-selected-packages'. Make sure the value of this variable is what you expect. If it's not, make sure your configuration is loading variables that were set by the Customize interface; when installing packages interactively, 'package-selected-packages' is set via the Customize code.
How does package-autoremove decide which packages to remove?
'package-autoremove' will remove a package if a) it's not in 'package-selected-packages' and b) nothing else in 'package-selected-packages' depends on it.
