Hi Andrei,

yes, you casn do this also with using apt. However, I forgot how to do this, 
it was a litttle bit more complicated.

The syntax was something like "apt-get --purge remove `somestring` " or 
similar. Apt was then using regexp, and the string had to be put in backticks 
or ticks whatever. 

Really, maybe google is telling more. I just forgot, how to do it. 

Last time I used it many years ago and my history is not that long. :-)

Best regards
