I use deborphan to get rid of unneeded packages on my system. But I have various lib*-dev packages installed to satisfy the build-dependencies of packages that I maintain or otherwise build from source. Deborphan reports these as orphaned, but I (usually) still need them. (When the build-dependencies change, some of these might really be orphans, but I can't easily tell.)
Is there a way to tell deborphan to follow the build-dependencies of a set of source packages? I know about deborphan's keep file, but that's too tedious to keep up-to-date by hand. Is there another tool I should be using? -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
