How to remove dependencies installed from .deb files?
by peter7089 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56C9P)
I am unable to remove dependencies installed from .deb files. For example, I downloaded the .deb files for vlc and its dependencies with the command 'sudo apt --download-only install vlc'. I can install vlc and its dependencies with 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb', and i can remove vlc with 'sudo dpkg -r vlc', but this doesn't remove its dependencies. And 'sudo apt autoremove' doesn't remove them also.
