Anyone know the proper tool (shell) to best remove (purge) packages and their dependencies after installing? For instance on a wheezy install when I added 'eog' (eye of gnome) it added 15 other dependency packages. Then removing ego only removed eog, literally. The dependencies remained. Is that the proper behavior these days? It didn't used to be. same result using: apt-get --purge autoremove eog apt-get --purge remove eog aptitude purge eog cheers.
