said Nick Leverton via trinity-users:
| You may be able to use something along the following lines:
|
| $ aptitude search '?narrow(~i~n(kde|qt|plasma),!~V4:14.0.5-0)'
|
| "From all the available versions of all packages, narrow the selection
| down to installed ones (the ~i term) with names containing kde or qt or
| plasma (the ~nregex term), and from those filter those whose version
| does not match the current Trinity release version."
|
| The results marked with A in the second column were automatically
| installed so focus on any that don't have this marker. "aptitude why
| <package>" may help here.
|
| Hope this helps, aptitude search terms can be tricky but are also pretty
| powerful.
Thanks very much -- what a great wad of stuff that command produced!
Knowing my own personal history of removing everything I can safely remove
plus one more, I'm going to be a little circumspect and do between little
and nothing right now. Ubuntu has gotten more and more annoying in its
decision to install what it wants and not what I want.
But for now it seems that pretty much everything is working well enough, so
I'll undertake the cleanup after I'm over my most recent bout of fixing
what's broken, and to that end I'm saving your very useful note.
