On a fresh (just installed) edgy, auto-removable list is empty. deborhan -a lists the following:
main/base ubuntu-standard main/net vsftpd main/base linux-image-generic main/base linux-image-2.6.17-7-generic main/base ubuntu-desktop main/base ubuntu-minimal main/misc installation-report the only thing I installed was vsftpd. the average user will not want to uninstall these, even by mistake, except vsftpd. > Amusingly, users do want to mass-remove packages they installed once > in a while. At least I do. I don't think via using deborphan -a... But I see what you are trying to say I think. You want to see a list of files you installed to clean up the system. For that, I myself would like to see a field in synaptic filters such as "installed by user on top of base". but I don't think it's a good idea to let synaptic use deborphan -a and give feedback to the user on the basis of its output. it's dangerous at best. -- Orphan Search https://launchpad.net/bugs/17297 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
