NAME
       dpkg-purge - mark packages for purge


SYNOPSIS
       dpkg-purge [PACKAGE...]


DESCRIPTION
       dpkg-purge marks package(s) to be purged.

       It achieves this by running `dpkg --set-selections' and piping in the package name(s) fol‐
       lowed by `purge'.

       NOTE: This program does not install, remove, purge any package. It ONLY sets the status of
       the  package.  Any actual removal or purging is done the next time dselect, apt-get, apti‐
       tude, etc are run.
