Errr, why? Just use deborphan keep file: --add-keep, -A PKGS.. Never report PKGS. --keep-file, -k FILE Use FILE to get/store info about kept packages. --list-keep, -L List the packages that are never reported. --del-keep, -R PKGS.. Remove PKGS from the "keep" file. --zero-keep, -Z Remove all packages from the "keep" file. Cheers, -- Ondřej Surý <ond...@sury.org> Knot DNS (https://www.knot-dns.cz/) – a high-performance DNS server
