- shared4you 11y agoWhat does this do that `apt-get autoremove` doesn't?
- onli 11y agoI remember this having existed before autoremove. It shouldn't help much now.
- skrause 11y agoapt-get autoremove only removes now unused packages that were previously installed automatically as a dependency. debfoster explicitly asks you which packages you want to keep and removes everything else. You can use it to strip down an existing Debian installation to just the base packages.
