Yes, here is an example: 1. apt-get --purge remove 4.3.1-0-* will remove all packages with4.3.1-0-* variable/string 4.3.1-0- in its name 2. aptitude purge '~n4.3.1-0-*' will deinstall all packages, named 4.3.1-0- 3. aptitude purge 'deborphan --guess-all' will deinstall all packages named by the commnd in the marks I see no system behind it. Looks weired for me. At the moment I find no example for "foo", but I am sure, one might find it also. Hans
