hello, try apt-get autoremove. that works in ubuntu in any case. On 3/5/2007 at 7:10 Gregory Nowak said -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. Can someone please tell me if it is possible to get rid of unneeded dependencies in debian? For example, say I install package x, which depends on package y, and let's say that package y depends on package z. If I later remove package x, packages y and z are still on the system, although nothing else depends on them. So, is there a way to either tell apt-get to remove packages y and z if x was removed, and nothing else needs y and z, or to have apt-get scan for unneeded packages and remove them? Thanks in advance.
