Dear Bill,I did look at this earlier - all seem to be present as well as the file /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest
The latest listing you ask for is: ===================================================================== # ls -l /var/log/popularity-contest* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24160 Jul 31 12:08 /var/log/popularity-contest -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24347 Jul 24 08:17 /var/log/popularity-contest.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18487 Jul 17 12:46 /var/log/popularity-contest.1.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18527 Jul 10 09:35 /var/log/popularity-contest.2.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18536 Jul 9 23:55 /var/log/popularity-contest.3.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18442 Jul 3 09:41 /var/log/popularity-contest.4.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18480 Jun 26 11:45 /var/log/popularity-contest.5.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18450 Jun 19 12:42 /var/log/popularity-contest.6.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 71522 Jul 31 12:08 /var/log/popularity-contest.new # ==================================================================== Hope this helps!

I am in the process of upgrading to buster, and would like to remove large packages I don't use before the upgrade if possible. There is a long thread on the forum which has ended with the conclusion that it does work on at least one other system, but not on mine for some reason. See http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=146885&start=15 There is no configuration information in the manual.Dear Geoff, popcon-largest-unused relies on the file /var/log/popularity-contest to get statistics. If it is missing you can use one of the non-empty files /var/log/popularity-contest.* instead. Just copy it to /var/log/popularity-contest What gives ls -l /var/log/popularity-contest* on your system ? Thanks for using Debian popularity-contest! Bill.
