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.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
