Ubuntu End of Life and Upgrades
https://mreschke.com/254/ubuntu-end-of-life-and-upgrades
<p>This topic helps with two things. One is to upgrade an old Ubuntu release to a new release, and by old I mean one that is no longer supported. Keep in mind that if say 9.04 is unsupported, but 9.10 is still supported, you can simply do the <tt>do-release-update</tt>. This doc helps when both 9.04 and 9.10 and above are EOL (end of life). Second is to maintain the use of an old Ubuntu distro even after its repositories stop working. Basically if you don't install the LTS (Long Term Support) release of Ubuntu then your distro is only supported for about a year. After that year all your repositories (using apt-get) fail and cannot be found. <strong>This is because Ubuntu archives the old repositories to a different URL.</strong> You don't actually have to upgrade your old Ubuntu distro, and you can continue to use it and its repos, you just have to switch to the new repo URL's. See below.</p>

Debian Apt-Get
https://mreschke.com/90/debian-apt-get
You can see a list of all packages installed by dpkg --get-selections, some packages will say "deinstall" next to them, this means that package has been uninstalled, but old data is still ramaining. You can purge these uninstalled packages by dpkg --purge the-nameof-the-package. If you wanted to write a loop to --purge all package with deinstall, do this for i in $(dpkg --get-selections|grep deinstall|awk '{print $1}'); do dpkg -P $i; done To Count installed packages dpkg --get-selections|grep i...
