I use dpkg --list |grep -v ^ii to find old packages that haven't
been purged, which isn't to many if you update with apt-get --purge
dist-upgrade consistently.

cleaning up a system
i'd like to remove all files that debian didn't install, obviously ignoring places like /home, /var, /tmp, /usr/local, /dev (any other suggestions i have overlooked?)? there's cruft, but it's too complicated and while i should configure it in the long run, for now i have thought of something like the following, which can run for a while. i took the output of a `find /` and deleted all lines corresponding to inodes in the above special directories (find has no exclude!!! wishlist!), and now i want to: while read i; do dpkg -S $i /dev/null || echo $i done findlist orphanfiles and then further inspect orphanfiles and finally delete what i deem appropriate. any thoughts? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \ echo mailto: !#^.*|tr * mailto:; [EMAIL PROTECTED] no cat has eight tails. a cat has one tail more than no cat. therefore, a cat has nine tails. pgpzIMEWHtzMh.pgp Description: PGP signature
