Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.9-1

purge '?action(purge)' must be written purge $(aptitude -F %p search
'?action(purge)') for some internal reason.

# aptitude search '?action(purge)'
ip  desktop-file-utils
ip  dime
ip  diveintopython
# aptitude purge '?action(purge)'
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
# aptitude purge $(aptitude -F %p search '?action(purge)')
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  desktop-file-utils{ap} dime{ap} diveintopython{ap}

(You might say "well, why don't you just use
# aptitude install
that will do all you want".

However I have also --schedule-only some packages for installation,
and as I am not online right now, and aptitude offers no --no-download
option, I would still have to endure unsightly error messages, though
getting the job done.)
