There is a perl script, available from http://scriptopia.agrip.org.uk/ which will list all packages which are not depended on by other packages, if you have a repository like /var/lib/dpkg/status available -- I don't know whether rpm sufferers have one but there must be something like it. Running it after ekiga is removed should show anything that was needed only by ekiga. At worst, you might be able to adapt the script to a Suse system.
The new version of Debian's apt will have the capability, already present in aptitude, of remembering which packages were installed only as dependencies of something else and removing them when they're no longer needed. But that's Debian. ;-) hth cgm _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
