somebody here knows the correct answer to this: i installed a meta-package
that brought in a bunch of stuff. turns out, i don't like it and want to
remove it and all its demonspawn. is there a command that uses the
meta-package to uninstall what it installed?

thanks.


There are a 3 ways that I can think of:

One use synaptic to remove the main package and rest will be listed as auto-remove.

Two remove the main package and then run deborphan/gtkorphan to clean up the rest.

Three install and run package 'upgrade-system'.

To bad I can't run these tools on my head.
