orphaner - frontend for deborphan
SYNOPSIS
orphaner [--help|--purge] [deborphan options]
DESCRIPTION
orphaner is a neat frontend for deborphan displaying a list of orphaned packages with dialog or whiptail. Packages may be selected for
removal with apt-get which is then called to do the work. After removal a new list of orphaned packages is gathered from deborphan. The
program ends when either `Cancel' is pressed or no package is marked for removal.
After you removed a package, all new orphaned packages are shown at the top of the list separated by +++++ from the old list.
Orphaner also shows two additional buttons: `Simulate' and `Help'. `Simulate' does like its name suggest only a simulation of removing and
shows the result that would appear after real removing. So you can see the packages, which will become orphaned and you can select them and
remove all packages with one apt-get call.
`Help' shows you the status of the package given by dpkg -s. Caution: your selection will be lost.
OPTIONS --help Print a short help and exit.
--skip-apt
Do not call apt-get, but show apt-get command line instead.
--purge
Call apt-get remove with the --purge option.
orphaner accepts most, but not all, options that deborphan accepts. These options are passed to deborphan unchanged, and described in
deborphan's manpage. Options which are not accepted include switches to manage the keep file, and switches to change the output format.
Note that switches which take an argument need to passed as one argument to orphaner. For instance to only show packages of priority
optional and less important, you need to use --priority=optional (i.e. with the = sign, not with a space).

DPKG-PRECONFIGURE(8) Debconf DPKG-PRECONFIGURE(8)NAME
dpkg-preconfigure - let packages ask questions prior to their installation
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-preconfigure [options] package.deb
dpkg-preconfigure --apt
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-preconfigure lets packages ask questions before they are installed. It operates on a set of debian packages, and all packages that
use debconf will have their config script run so they can examine the system and ask questions.
OPTIONS -ftype, --frontend=type
Select the frontend to use.
-pvalue, --priority=value
Set the lowest priority of questions you are interested in. Any questions with a priority below the selected priority will be ignored
and their default answers will be used.
--terse
Enables terse output mode. This affects only some frontends.
--apt
Run in apt mode. It will expect to read a set of package filenames from stdin, rather than getting them as parameters. Typically this
is used to make apt run dpkg-preconfigure on all packages before they are installed. To do this, add something like this to
/etc/apt/apt.conf:
// Pre-configure all packages before
// they are installed.
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {
"dpkg-preconfigure --apt --priority=low";
};
-h, --help
Display usage help.
