I have a system running Ubuntu 20.04LTS with only a few snaps. recently I installed “tuba” and uninstalled it again because it wasn’t to my liking.
Now I see that I have gnome-42-2204 installed (I noticed because of an unfamiliar dialog alerting me of an update). The description shown with snap info --verbose gnome-42-2204
says:
This snap is automatically installed and removed when needed. Manually adding or removing this snap is not recommended and might break things.
I do not recall having this snap before so it was likely installed as a dependency with tuba, but then it should also have been removed, right? This is the list of installed snaps:

is there another method to identify dependencies? And if there is no dependency any more, why was gnome-42-2204
not removed?
Many thanks for any hints.
