Membersihkan (purge & clean) paket Debian yang pernah di install

Install

# apt-get install deborphan debfoster

Buang paket

#apt-get remove --purge package
#apt-get clean

the later will clean the /var

#debfoster

will show files and libraries still left after the apt-get remove --purge, if you don't recognize a library, keep it, later on, deborphan will give you a list of 'orphaned' libraries that are hanging with no use, and are safe to nuke.

if you make a mistake with debfoster, type 'u' and will ask you again if you want to keep it. When you are thru with it, invoke deborphan.

#deborphan

will give a list of libraries that are hanging just taking space, to get rid of them:

#deborphan | xargs apt-get -y remove purge

when thru with that:

#apt-get clean
