## Purge after upgrade from Debian Wheezy to Jessie #The following command displays a list of all removed packages that may have configuration files left on the system (if any): dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/ { print $2 }' #The packages can be removed by using apt-get purge. Assuming you want to purge all of them in one go, you can use the following command: apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/ { print $2 }')
