This is probably 3.0 material, due to limited timeframe and libapt-pkg's current nonsupport for this. How far are we from 3.0 version? How far = now probably a year or so, considering my rather limited time. *** Bug 125673 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Note that apt-get now also seems to have this functionality - it will flag up unneeded dependencies which are left after you have uninstalled a package. And adept is flagging like installed automatically, but it isn't using autoremove to clean dependencies. Although you add APT::Get::AutomaticRemove "true"; to /etc/apt/apt.conf packages which was automatically installed are not uninstalled when they're not used, and apt-get does that. Synaptic does this automatically. I think there should be no technical difficulty in implementing this. It has already been more than an year but this is still absent. It'll be done when it'll be done. I have other things to do, no worry. Adept has been in the unmaintained state for a few years. Use muon[1] as replacement . [1] https://launchpad.net/muon |
