Aptitude (a front-end to apt which, I believe, is installed by default, and which has both a true commandline interface (with switches more or less identical to APT's) and a terminal-based user interface (if invoked with no arguments)) does this by default. And if later you *want* to keep some of the unused dependencies it's about to uninstall, you can tell it to do that, as well. > Just cos I think something is rubbish doesn't mean I have > a bad attitude. This is true, but a bad attitude does come out in the presentation of that thought. Comments like "Apparently this is too obvious to bother writing anywhere" when complaining about a lack of documentation aren't productive--if taken at face value, this particular example is just self-deprecating. If the sarcasm that (I think) is underlying it is also taken into consideration, it takes on a dimension of rudeness thinly masked by self-deprecation. Either way, just asking for help rather than sniping at yourself and/or the documentation folks is more helpful and probably takes less time to write, as well.
