yes, you casn do this also with using apt. However, I forgot how to do this, it was a litttle bit more complicated. The syntax was something like "apt-get --purge remove `somestring` " or similar. Apt was then using regexp, and the string had to be put in backticks or ticks whatever. Really, maybe google is telling more. I just forgot, how to do it. Last time I used it many years ago and my history is not that long. :-) Best regards Hans > On Mi, 07 apr 21, 11:11:55, Marco Ippolito wrote: > > > Hi Marco, > > > > Hi Hans :) > > > > > aptitude purge ~n4.9.10-amd64-* > > > > Hadn't thought of matching a pattern, thanks. > > While I'm a big fan of aptitude's patterns it's also not installed by > default.
