Hi, I wasn't sure where to start so I started here. I am developing my own Distro of Linux, and I am using Debian as a base. I am trying to remove all programs dependent on the X11-Common package without actually removing the X11-Common package. I am using the most recent Debian LTS. Is there a way APT can do this, or will I have to remove the x11-common package, then "#apt-get autoremove" and reinstall x11-common? Thanks in advanced.
You could use "apt-cache rdepends x11-common" to find all packages that directly depend on x11-common, remove those which will take out any packages that depend on them too and see what autoremove will show as left.
