Hi,
I'm running debian sarge. I have installed some packages in the past, and i want to uninstall them.
Every package usualy install some dependencies packages.
what i want is a tool to check this dependencies and remove the packages that no package needs them.
I know there is something like this in debian, but i can't find it.



For starters you'll have to install yet another package. But it is not so big, so it is worth it.

 apt-get install deborphan

Now examine orphan packages:

 deborphan

man deborphan for more aggressive options.

to remove all the packages:

 deborphan | xargs apt-get remove -y
