since awk was already there one can use it instead of the 2 greps. might not be faster, but fast enough

Find packages on Ubuntu/Debian based on their description

Especially useful for latex packages, which are listed in the description of their Ubuntu package E.g. say I want to find the Ubuntu package containing latex package aeguill:

aptitude search ~daeguill

repository search

This is the best way I have found to search out an application when I am not sure the title.

Grep is just to remove anything that does not contain the term in the title or short description (lots of things might include the search term in the description, such as libraries used by the application)

Remove all unused kernels with apt-get

Same as 7272 but that one was too dangerous

so i added -P to prompt users to continue or cancel

Note the double space: "...^ii␣␣linux-image-2..."

Like 5813, but fixes two bugs: [1]This leaves the meta-packages 'linux-headers-generic' and 'linux-image-generic' alone so that automatic upgrades work correctly in the future. [2]Kernels newer than the currently running one are left alone (this can happen if you didn't reboot after installing a new kernel).

I'm bummed that this took 228 characters. I'd like to see a simpler version.

Remove all unused kernels with apt-get

A little aptitude magic. Note: this will remove images AND headers. If you just want to remove images: aptitude remove ?and(~i~nlinux-im ?not(~n`uname -r`))

I used this in zsh without any problems. I'm not sure how other shells will interpret some of the special characters used in the aptitude search terms. Use -s to simulate.

Cancel all aptitude scheduled actions

Very handy if you have done a package selection mistake in aptitude.

Note that it's better to do a Ctrl+U (undo) in aptitude if possible, because the keep-all will clear some package states (like the 'hold' state).
