dpigs

Just found out about dpigs, a Debian tool for finding out which packages are taking up the most space on the drive. Looks like dpigs can't be installed by itself; it's part of the debian-goodies package (see https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/debian-goodies for a complete list of the debian-goodies tools).

Installing debian-goodies also provides access to the dpigs man page, which has info on usage and options. A link to an older version of man dpigs: https://www.commandlinux.com/man-page/man1/dpigs.1.html

Here's what happened when I first ran dpigs here:

$ dpigs
270589 fonts-noto-extra
262512 linux-image-4.19.0-6-amd64
260714 linux-image-4.19.0-5-amd64
204486 fonts-noto-cjk-extra
177044 firefox-esr
165839 openjdk-11-jre-headless
145747 libgl1-mesa-dri
132921 libreoffice-core
111246 papirus-icon-theme
86721 fonts-noto-cjk

I promptly did a sudo apt purge on some of that stuff.
