Hi folks!
I like to play around with fink in a way that I often install
programs to take a look at them, use them for some weeks and remove
them again if I didn't find them useful or found better apps to
serve my needs..
You see that many packages get installed as dependencies as well,
while they are not removed again, when i remove my "toys".
Now that I'm running short on diskspace I am looking for a way to
find these obsolete packages to remove them. What I do at the
moment is to try to remove a random package and see if fink reports
other packages that have to be uninstalled too because of
dependencies...
Is there a way to let fink list all packages that are no others
depend on, so I can speed up this process and don't have to guess
which are save to delete?
That's what the debfoster package is for. Install it and run 'sudo
debfoster'. It will ask you which packages you want to keep which are
not required by other installed packages.
HTH,
Remi
