Here’s two patches:

[0001-Add-noconfirm-to-package-autoremove.patch (application/octet-stream, attachment)]

[0002-Use-prefix-argument-in-package-install-selected-pack.patch (application/octet-stream, attachment)]

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

The first is the same as before, but it adds the prefix argument usage Eli suggested.

The second patch adds a matching prefix argument to package-install-selected-packages (if this is desired).

I didn’t implement a predicate option for NOCONFIRM yet, since I couldn’t think of a use case, and the intended semantics are not quite clear to me.

Please let me know what else is needed, and thanks!
