Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.2-1ubuntu1
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi all,
The aptitude package has two options. One is either using the aptitude
GUI or the aptitude CLI.
In the aptitude GUI one can see and resolve,purge obsolete packages. I
read the man page of aptitude but didn't find any option to show which
are obsolete packages on the CLI. So there are two possibilities .
1. There is no such switch or flag which shows this information.
2. There is a switch or flag or combo but this is not documented.
In both the cases the aptitude user is poorer by the result.
Use-cases
Feel free to add/comment on the bug.
