Bug#895897: Further comments on apt purge
Note that
apt purge ~c
does something, but apt(8) does not mention the support for the ~c
parameter.
On my system, it seems to be attempting to remove all packages that
have the "c" second character status in dpkg -l. Unfortunately,
this includes packages such as "locales" which I think are normally
"ic", so this command does not seem appropriate for removing "rc"
packages as suggested elsewhere.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
bsdmainutils* grub-legacy-ec2* isc-dhcp-client*
language-pack-en-base* linux-image-6.5.0-17-generic*
linux-image-6.5.0-25-generic* linux-modules-6.5.0-17-generic*
linux-modules-6.5.0-25-generic*
linux-modules-extra-6.5.0-17-generic*
linux-modules-extra-6.5.0-25-generic* locales*
openvswitch-switch* reportbug* resolvconf* ufw* upower*
