NAME

       nala-autoremove/autopurge - Autoremove or Autopurge packages that are no longer needed

SYNOPSIS

       nala autoremove [--options]

       nala autopurge [--options]

DESCRIPTION

       Automatically remove or purge any packages that are no longer needed.

       Packages  that  are  no  longer  needed  are  usually dependencies that were automatically
       installed and no package depends on them any longer.

       The autoremove and autopurge documentation are  combined  as  they  are  almost  the  same
       command.

       nala autopurge is really just nala autoremove --purge

OPTIONS

       --config
              Purge configuration files for packages that are no longer installed.

       --purge
              Purge any packages that would removed during the transaction.

       --debug
              Print  helpful  information  for solving issues.  If you're submitting a bug report
              try running the command again with --debug and providing the output to the devs, it
              may be helpful.

       --raw-dpkg
              Force nala not to format dpkg output.

              This disables all formatting and it would look as if you were using apt.

              A  more indepth explanation for what this switch does, nala will fork a tty instead
              of a pty for dpkg.

              nala will  also  not  display  a  progress  bar  for  dpkg  with  this  turned  on.
              Additionally  the  language  of the output will not be forced into English for this
              mode.

       -d, --download-only
              Packages are only retrieved, not unpacked or installed.

       --remove-essential
              Allow the removal of essential packages.

              This is very dangerous, but we thought you should have the option.

       --assume-yes, --assume-no

              -y, --assume-yes

                     Automatically select yes for any prompts which may need your input.

                     If the configuration option assume_yes is true, this switch will set it back
                     to default behavior

              -n, --assume-no

                     Automatically select no for any prompts which may need your input.

       --simple, --no-simple

              --simple

                     Show a more simple and condensed transaction summary.

              --no-simple

                     Show the standard table transatction summary with more information.

                     This variant is the default

       -o, --option
              Set options to pass through to apt, nala, or dpkg.

              Example:
                     Force dpkg to install new config files without prompting:

                            nala install --option Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew"

                     Disable scrolling text for nala

                            nala install --option Nala::scrolling_text="false"

                     Allow nala to update unauthenticated repositories:

                            nala install --option* APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated="true"

       -v, --verbose
              Disable scrolling text and print extra information

       -h, --help
              Shows this man page.

       --update, --no-update
              --update

                     Update the package list before the requested operation.

                     Example:

                            nala install --update neofetch

                            is equivalent to

                            apt update && apt install neofetch

                     [Default for: upgrade]

              --no-update

                     Do NOT update the package list before the requested operation.

                     [Default for: install, remove, purge, autoremove, autopurge]

       --fix-broken, --no-fix-broken
              --fix-broken

                     Attempts to fix broken packages.

                     This variant is the default

              --no-fix-broken

                     Stops nala from performing extra checks.

                     This can result in a broken install!

              If you just want to fix broken packages:

                     nala install --fix-broken
