The aptitude command offers some help: $ aptitude search '~c'
searches for packages that were removed but not purged, i.e., their configuration files are still present; to get rid of these files order $ aptitude purge '~c' Next: $ aptitude search '~g' searches for packages not required by any manually installed packages. If you are sure you want to get rid of them order something like $ aptitude purge $(aptitude -F "%p" search '~g') -- Regards, jvp. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
