To avoid having to reformat your hard disk and install a new system is better to follow the following tips.

# aptitude install checkinstall


# checkinstall


# aptitude install debfoster

To upgrade units.

# debfoster -vu


# aptitude install deborphan

To view the packages orphans.

# deborphan -libdevel

List of packets generated by deborphan.

# apt-get -purge remove deborphan

# apt-get -purge remove deborphan-libdev

The option -purge removes the configuration files of the package.

So we delete the configuration files that have been left by uninstalled packages without the option -purge.

# dpkg -purge COLUMNS = 300 dpkg -l | egrep rc | cut-d-f3

# dpkg -purge package to purge

Linux is todo.Easy. Greetings.
