But if orphan -a used, the list is extended to some actually needed packages (for instance Skype, Transmission or even more drastic: linux-headers). So, I was careful with -a command. But I wanted to ask U what these sub commands mean: &lt and &gt? Because when I try that (after the regullar orphan removal) it shows some other packages to be removed.
