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*
