Only if they share files. > Would that be enough to drop obsolete packages? No. You need to make sure they have no reverse-dependencies and then either ask ftp-master to remove them (via a bug such as this) or wait for that to happen semi-automagically. See http://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals The current version of the "cruft report" mentioned there contains: - broken Build-Depends: planner: libgsf-gnome-1-dev So that would need resolving first.
