       Automatically remove or purge any packages that are no longer needed.

       Packages  that  are  no  longer  needed are usually dependencies that were automatically installed and no
       package depends on them any longer.

       The autoremove and autopurge documentation are combined as they are almost the same command.

       nalaautopurge is really just nalaautoremove--purge

       nala-autoremove/autopurge - Autoremove or Autopurge packages that are no longer needed

--config
              Purge configuration files for packages that are no longer installed.

       --purge
              Purge any packages that would removed during the transaction.

       --debug
              Print helpful information for solving issues.  If you're submitting a bug report try  running  the
              command again with --debug and providing the output to the devs, it may be helpful.

       --raw-dpkg
              Force nala not to format dpkg output.

              This disables all formatting and it would look as if you were using apt.

              A  more  indepth  explanation for what this switch does, nala will fork a tty instead of a pty for
              dpkg.

              nala will also not display a progress bar for dpkg with this turned on.  Additionally the language
              of the output will not be forced into English for this mode.

       -d, --download-only
              Packages are only retrieved, not unpacked or installed.

       --remove-essential
              Allow the removal of essential packages.

              This is very dangerous, but we thought you should have the option.

       --assume-yes, --assume-no-y, --assume-yes

                     Automatically select yes for any prompts which may need your input.

                     If the configuration option assume_yes is true, this switch will set  it  back  to  default
                     behavior

              -n, --assume-no

                     Automatically select no for any prompts which may need your input.

       --simple, --no-simple--simple

                     Show a more simple and condensed transaction summary.

              --no-simple

                     Show the standard table transatction summary with more information.

                     This variant is the default-o, --option
              Set options to pass through to apt, nala, or dpkg.

              Example:
                     Force dpkg to install new config files without prompting:

                            nalainstall--optionDpkg::Options::="--force-confnew"

                     Disable scrolling text for nalanalainstall--optionNala::scrolling_text="false"

                     Allow nala to update unauthenticated repositories:

                            nalainstall--option* APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated="true"-v, --verbose
              Disable scrolling text and print extra information

       -h, --help
              Shows this man page.

       --update, --no-update--update

                     Update the package list before the requested operation.

                     Example:

                            nalainstall--updateneofetch

                            is equivalent to

                            aptupdate && aptinstallneofetch

                     [Default for: upgrade]

              --no-update

                     Do NOT update the package list before the requested operation.

                     [Default for: install, remove, purge, autoremove, autopurge]

       --fix-broken, --no-fix-broken--fix-broken

                     Attempts to fix broken packages.

                     This variant is the default--no-fix-broken

                     Stops nala from performing extra checks.

              If you just want to fix broken packages:
