How to uninstall/purge packages which were installed in a certain period of time?
Asked by
Jay Strict
Sometimes I want to compile some upstream package of my own. Then this package has lots of dependencies, which I have to fullfil before compiling. So I start synaptic and install them all (sometimes this is 20 or so packages). I then compile my package and don't need all the lib-*-dev packages anymore.
So I want synaptic to uninstall all packages which were installed in the time from, say 12th of February until now.
How can I do that?
In Synaptic, choosing File -> History, one can see all these packages, but not choose to remove them.
Perhaps there is even a solution with apt-get instead of synaptic?
Thank you for any ideas
