To use Ansible to remove unwanted package dependencies with apt
, you can use the apt
module and the autoremove
parameter.
Here's an example playbook that demonstrates how to use the apt
module to remove unwanted package dependencies:
--- - hosts: all tasks: - name: Remove unwanted package dependencies apt: name: "*" state: absent autoremove: yes
This playbook will remove all packages and their dependencies that are no longer needed on the system. The autoremove
parameter tells apt
to remove dependencies that are no longer needed.
Note that this playbook will remove all packages on the system. If you only want to remove specific packages and their dependencies, you can specify the package names in the name
parameter.
