start:orphanedcleanup
This is an old revision of the document!
On testing it is possible a package is removed that you have installed, due to some issue with the package or that is is abandoned. For this reason it is a good idea to every now and again check that the packages on your system have not become orphaned and you still have a pretty clean system.
Its also worthwhile checking if any recommended packages are missing from time to time. Its essentially just checking that what your system has is logical and will be kept up to date by apt. By doing this you will reduce the amount of problems you have as well as avoid having to reinstall your OS clean because you are auditing it and keeping it under control.
The first thing I like to do
