apt-suggest-auto 0.1
Package Information
| Description | identify packages safe to mark as automatically installed Over time, packages installed as dependencies of manually-installed packages accumulate as "manually installed" in the APT database, preventing autoremoval when they are no longer needed. apt-suggest-auto identifies such packages by simulating the effect of marking each one as automatically installed and checking whether it would become eligible for autoremoval. Only packages that remain required by other installed packages are suggested for reclassification. It serves as a modern replacement for debfoster and deborphan. |
