Package: deborphan Version: 1.7.15 Severity: wishlist Hello,
as discussed on IRC, I would like to see the --guess-kernel to remove kernel modules packages because the current options do not work well. The problem: foo-module-$KVERS has no Depends on the kernel module. The -a option finds all modules packages, but a) you cannot filter that output because you cannot grep for "kernel" or any common string b) you cannot just use it because it also finds module packages that are used (read: the associated kernel-image-$KVERS package is still installed) The best method I found is greping for $KVERS strings from which I knew for sure that the kernel was not installed. How the guess-kernel option should behave? deborphan should check which packages have Recommends/Suggests on kernel-image-.* (linux-image... for Ubuntu). From this subset it only should only print packages when the associated kernel-image-... (linux-image-...) is no longer installed.
