I've just restarted emacs and it errored during startup because actually the pdf-tools package uses tablist although it doesn't explicitly declare it as dependency. In its git repository, it has tablist.el bundled but that's not distributed via the package. Reported here: https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools/issues/103 Does that explain something? E.g., package-autoremove only works with the declared dependencies whereas a package upgrade will also recognize that (featurep 'tablist) is true in the currently running emacs which means it is actually used and thus it must be installed again?
