Description

Deborphan is a command-line utility for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It is used to find and remove packages that are no longer needed on the system. It is a great tool for helping to keep your system clean and running smoothly. It scans the list of installed packages and checks for any libraries or dependencies that are no longer used by any installed packages. It then displays a list of all the packages that can be safely removed, making it easier to uninstall them. Deborphan can be used with the apt-get command to remove the packages, or it can be used in a manual fashion to review the list of packages and decide which ones to uninstall.
