dpkg: error: --purge needs a valid package name but '...' is not: illegal package
name in specifier '...': must start with an alphanumeric character
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or
'more' !

Surely there must be a way that doesn't involve finding and typing 125 package names.
