| reply to Caphead Re: cleaning a deb system
Another thing you can do to clean your system is to use deborphan to find so-called "orphan packages" - e.g. packages that have been replaced by another package or were incorporated into another package. This is more common for unstable/testing, but can happen in stable as well.
You can then run `deborphan` and look at the list to see what you can remove by inspection, or do something like:
apt-get remove --purge `deborphan`
Hope that helps. -- apt-get remove --purge ignorance |
