let's remove fortran from my system
I never use fortran, so
# apt-cache show libg2c0
Description: Runtime library for GNU Fortran 77 applications
# apt-get --purge remove libg2c0
The following packages will be REMOVED:
atlas2-3dnow* libg2c0* pdl* r-base* r-base-core* r-base-html* r-base-latex*
After unpacking 56.1MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Uh oh doesn't look that simple. I don't recall using the R language
either... But removing pdl,
# apt-cache show pdl
Description: The perl data language. Perl extensions for numerics.
looks threatening to the system. Ok, better quit while I'm ahead.
