It found version 10 that was replaced by version 11.
I was looking at version 11 being in use, not 10.
You're right, I'm wrong.
Sorry for the waste in bandwidth.
No problems. BTW, here is the command that I use with deborphan:
apt-get --purge remove `deborphan --guess-all | grep -v libc6-i686`
The libc6-i686 is a package that I want to keep (until, perhaps, when it
is included in libc6 --- I don't know if this will happen at all, anyway).
If you prefer, you can use "aptitude purge" where I use "apt-get --purge
remove".
Since I use apt-move to keep a copy of the packages that I download
locally (in a way suitable for sharing with friends), I don't fear
loosing any package.
And since we are talking about keeping everything in order, I think that
using the package cruft will help you see where other suspicious files
are.
And another handy tool for keeping your systems in shape is wajig, in
particular when the size option is used. It gives you a hint of which
packages are consuming how much space in your filesystems.
BTW, wajig is a frontend to APT and it calls deborphan and other handy
utilities without you having to memorize a thousand commands and
options. Worth seeing just to know if you want it or not, IMVHO.
Hope this helps, Rog�rio.
