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
"apt-get remove $PACKAGENAME" doesn't work for you?

followed by
apt-get autoremove
This will clean up some of those dependencies.

You can also do autoremove in place of remove, to do it all at once. :-)

The above won't remove a package if there are dependencies.

Can anyone suggest a project that needs help? (debugging, features, etc)
Is this a dumb question?

Hi,
I want to buy a tiny (and perphaps older) linux box if anybody has one

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. :-)
