How to remove an uninstalled package's dependencies?
when I want to install a specific package (with synaptic) that depends on some other packages, I have to install them too.
But I want to remove this specific package, I want the dependencies to be removed too.
After you remove the package, any packages that were automatically installed because of their dependency can be removed like this:
sudo apt-get autoremove
From the man page:
autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no more needed.
