[Common scenario elided] I wonder if "deborphan" meets the OP's need? It's a utility that identifies "left over" packages that no other packages depend on. Library packages that meet this description are probably left-overs and can be removed. See <http://packages.debian.org/etch/deborphan> for more details. -- A. -- Andrew Reid / [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
