Removing Unused Programs
I know most people use Deborphan and Aptitude to remove unused libraries
and programs, but I'm wondering if there is a way to (For apt-get users)
remove unused utilities?
By this I mean, if I install progA it asks me to install libA, libB,
progC, and depenF. Now when I apt-get remove progA, it will just remove
progA. I would like to remove progC and depenF as well, without removing
unused libraries (Since libraries don't bother me, and may interfere
with the programs I've installed from source).
I'm pretty new to the apt system, and I've been using aptitude over apt
for a long time now but I've decided to use apt and keep libraries on my
system; But I don't want to keep those annoying programs and
dependencies (Which usually take up anywhere between 1MB and 30MB for
certain programs!).
