However, if you want to be sure, just check the rdepends. Most probably you'll see some package you installed sometime, but then later removed it. I'd consider removing those libs safe. As a sidenote, I'd recommend using aptitude instead of apt-get for this reason: aptitude, when told to install a package, will pull the dependencies, but will mark them as automatically installed. This way, if you later decide to remove that package, or the package dependencies have changed, they will be automatically removed. Aptitude is much more picky on the dependencies, apt-get tends to assume you know what you are doing (which I've found is not usually the case, given the amount of packages and their interdependencies). --
