As times goes by and ubuntu releases arrive i keep updating my good old home server and laptop. This leaves behind removed packages with remaining files.
These are my steps to keep ubuntu nice and tidy. I don't do this often, so i'm writing it here to remember on my next LST upgrade.
The first util is deborphan, deborphan finds packages that have no packages depending on them. Which makes them a perfect candidate for removal. As usual, read the deborphan man page before start using it
