Without seeing where he mentioned his OS I'll just assume he's on
12.04 where this is a problem.  Apt does not autoremove some package
(and you always have to do apt-get autoremove --purge twice to get it
to autoremove) and it always leaves lib remnants even if
auto-installed and no longer needed requiring you to rely on deborphan
to remove the libs or to manually track it yourself (which shouldn't
have to be the case.)  There are also problems with removing packages
with a + in the name, using the + results in an attempt to install not
uninstall example: apt-get autoremove --purge memtest86+ tells me it's
already installed I have to memtest86* to get it removed on our
virtual servers.
