Question to aptitude

["Hans-J. Ullrich" <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

Hi list!

I have just a little question to aptitude, and I think, it can be easily 
answered. 

The Problem: With the command "apt-get --purge remove 3.0.1-*" I can uninstall 
all packages containing 3.0.1-something. I use this for installing older 
kernels and headers as well as selfbuild kernel modules.

This works very well! 

But how can I do the same with aptitude? I suppose, aptitude is using regexp, 
but I am noz sure. And I am not well experienced with regexp. Is aptitude 
using regexp???

Any hints are welcome.

Best regards

Hans
