Know about autoremove, but that's not what I meant. For example, let's say I install libreoffice using the metapackage libreoffice. 'apt-get install libreoffice' Fine. Everything is installed. Now, sometime later, I want to uninstall or purge libreoffice from the system. 'apt-get purge libreoffice' won't do it. I've done tests, and as far as I can tell little or nothing is removed. It seems the only way is to uninstall/purge each component individually and/or by using wildcards. Wouldn't it make sense for the metapackage to uninstall as well? It would certainly make things easier. B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
