--- Begin Message ---Package: deborphan Version: 1.7.28.8 Severity: normal The deborphan man page says: DESCRIPTION deborphan finds packages that have no packages depending on them. The default operation is to search only within the libs and oldlibs sections to hunt down unused libraries. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ One has the impression that these packages just contain libraries (and associated documentation files, but nothing else that would affect the behavior of a running system). This is usually the case, but some packages in these sections may also contain executables (which the user or a 3rd-party application may use), so that it may not be safe to remove them. So, this is a bit confusing. The man page should say something like: Such packages may also contain executables or plugins, not just libraries; the user should check their contents before removing them. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.8-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages deborphan depends on: ii libc6 2.13-38 Versions of packages deborphan recommends: ii apt 0.9.7.8 ii dialog 1.1-20120215-3 ii gettext-base 0.18.1.1-10 deborphan suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
