What packages did Midori install for it to run that I should uninstall to be completely rid of Midori?

  • 772

I've installed Midori, tried it, and disliked it, so I've uninstalled it. Problem is, I forgot to keep track of what packages Midori installed along with itself, and since I'm trying to get rid of Midori completely, including all of the other extra packages it installed, I'm wondering if anyone happens to know what those packages are. I've installed good ole' Chromium afterwards, and are there any packages that Chromium uses that were installed by Midori as well? If not, what are the extra lib packages and whatnot that Midori installed besides the basic browser itself in order to run?

Thanks, Icedrake

    I normally use rdepends for that, install it with sudo apt-get install apt-rdepends or look for in the Ubuntu Software Center.

    After installing the program you can use it simply by opening a terminal and typing sudo apt-rdepends <package_name>.

    It will show you all the dependencies any package that is in your apt lists required to install and all the dependencies of a package that you might be thinking about installing.

    It shows the information in a tree diagram where all the dependencies from one package are compared against all the dependencies of the each package dependency... (and so).

    ie:

    sudo apt-rdepends sqlite

    If you just want to see what midori installed during the installation process (and not all the list of dependencies of midori) you can check your /var/log/apt/term.log file, it will show you all the steps apt has performed until now in your system, including installations and removals of packages.

    Have a look at it running cat /var/log/apt/term.log | more in a terminal or open it with your favorite text editor.
