#6 Re: Question: Tracking the installation and remova Posted by Anonymous (156.153.xx.xx) on Fri 10 Jun 2005 at 16:35 This is something I always wondered about. I was always concerned with it since I typically have a bare bones system and then decide to install..say... pan. Pan of course depends on many different things and when I decide I don't need want it, if I do 'apt-get remove pan', I will only remove pan and not the many other packages that were automatically installed because of it. So I simply started running 'script' whenever I apt-get install anything. Then I save the resulting script file so I know which packages were specifically installed only because of a particular package. It's a tedious process, but I seldom install apps and it works exactly the way I want it to. I know there must be a smarter way to do it, but never to the time to figure it out.
