Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
pressing F10 then o to remove obsolete files
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
* What was the outcome of this action?
some but not all obsolete files would be deleted
* What outcome did you expect instead?
all obsolete files to be deleted.
Were/are you able to reproduce this, or can you give a concrete example
with files that remain present that you wanted removed?
To hazard a wild guess... I see that you use a mix of unstable, testing,
stable, oldstable...:
-- System Information:
Debian Release: jessie/sid
APT prefers unstable
APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500,
'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
I am wondering if what you consider obsolete is different from what
aptitude/apt consider obsolete.
For example, maybe you only want to keep the latest version of a package
(the one in unstable/experimental), while maybe aptitude/apt don't
consider the .deb files obsolete if the file is present in any of the
suites that you have enabled in your system.
Cheers.
