[solved] apt-get autoremove?

[acurrie]

This command doesn't seem to work in my ZenMini terminal (running as root). I thought it might be using apt-rpm instead of apt-get, but it doesn't look like it.

Is there some other/better command to get rid of cruft from previous install/uninstalls?

Thanks in advance...

PClinuxOS uses apt4rpm.

apt-get -D remove


 -D  When removing packages, remove dependencies as possible

PClinuxOS uses apt4rpm.

Oh, ok. I got confused when I could only pull up the man pages for apt-get...

Would there be an apt4rpm equivalent to autoremove? The stuff in question is some Qt libraries that were installed with VLC, but not removed when I dumped it.

Thanks for setting me straight!

See Texstar's reply.

BleachBit (in Sybnaptic)?

See Texstar's reply.

But I would have to invoke that command while uninstalling -- not after the fact, right?

I guess I could also go back into Synaptic and check which packages are installed with VLC, then nuke each each one.

I'll look into BleachBit too... thanks again.
