apt install/remove task-*-desktop
Problem
installing a debian meta package like "task-xfce-desktop" and later removing (and auto-removing unneeded dependencies) does not remove all of the packages that were originally installed.
Information
<petn-randall> cweiske: If some other package recommends/suggests any of those packages, they won't get removed.
<petn-randall> cweiske: You can see which packages got installed via /var/log/apt/history.log, then just remove them.
