Big Thanks. Trying to install openCV from source & running out of space. Hopefully this will let me continue.

Why do:

# Remove automatically installed dependency packages
echo apt-get -y autoremove

# Remove all packages marked rc (thanks @symm)
dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs dpkg --purge

when you could do

echo apt-get -y autoremove --purge

@kkprice1998: AFAIK those don't do the same thing…

The two-command version in the script will remove packages whose configuration files remain installed that are both automatically installed and manually installed.

Your one-command version will only remove configuration packages for those packages that were automatically installed.

Thinking about it makes me think there's a bug that was supposed to be fixed in this version of Slim-Raspbian.sh… raspberrypi-ui-mods should NOT have it's configuration files removed, but with the two command version above that's exactly what happens. I'll look into it.

Is the bug still present? Seems to be closed.

Thanks for that. Saved me a lot of time.
