Understanding apt-get
In the man page for apt-get, the paragraph for
the --list-cleanup option reads:
This option defaults to on, use --no-list-cleanup
to turn it off. When on apt-get will automatically
manage the contents of /var/state/apt/lists to
ensure that obsolete files are erased. The only
reason to turn it off is if you frequently change
your source list.
My reading of this paragraph is that, following an
"apt-get update", any installed packages that are not
in the new list, will be removed. Is this correct?
Cheers.
Aurelio.
