That had actually been reported in 2022! https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1004726 apt(8) doesn't mention the 'autopurge' option And this bug even mentions a merge request: https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/merge_requests/263 But according to this merge request, it has not been added as it an unofficial shortcut of "autoremove --purge". So, consider that it does not exist yet. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
