# apt-remove: interactive apt-get remove tool
#
# Dobrica Pavlinusic <dpavlin@rot13.org>
#
# based on well-known apt-iselect available at:
# http://www.rot13.org/~dpavlin/apt-iselect-remove.html
#
# 2006-01-04 first version
#
# It will automatically use sudo if installed or require user to enter root
# password when needed. It will also install iselect deb package
# if it's not already there.
#
# WARNING: due to iselect limitation, maximum number of results is
# 1020 and maximum length of all results is 1048576 bytes
