The apt-get autoremove command does not have any effect in Maverick. How can I solve that?
EDIT: Restoring a VM backup containing a clean install solved the problem.
Go to System > Administration > Computer Janitor. You can find all the packages that can be removed.
But, I am not sure whether it happens in 10.10
dpkg -l package-name
can cross-check what apt-get lists as not needed. Does removing a specific package yield a different result (e.g.apt-get remove package-name
)? What doesapt-get check
have to say for itself?
