Hi all
Sounding more and more like you've got a fairly old debian. You can try
using the apt-rdepends tool to list dependencies. If it's not available,
I'd probably just use dpkg to get a list of dependencies and then do
exactly what you're doing now.
Ugh. :-)

Hi all
I have a Debian server and I wish to remove several dozen packages.
How do I remove a package and it's dependencies?
So far I'm doing this:
cat list_to_remove | xargs dpkg -P
where list_to_remove is like this:
atlas3-base
atlas3-base-dev
blast2
bioperl
I end up with some
19 matches
