Re: Uninstalling a package and its entourage

Even shorter:

apt autopurge


Apropos to my recent message regarding system configuration, I keep a
personal metapackage around that lists the packages I really want.
About once a quarter I do the following (as root):

# apt-mark showmanual | grep -v mrc-mars | xargs apt-mark auto
# apt autopurge

(Where mrc-mars is my top level metapackage.  For *me*, that is the
only manual package I ever want on a machine.)

If I see something that it wants to purge but I do actually want, I
add it to my personal metapackage (build and push) and then do the
above again.

mrc
