Hi Alex, all
Thanks so much. Unfortunately it still doesn't build for me
- hanging at the same point.
I think there must be something else going on.
Fortunately I got octave 364 to build though.
Cheers
James.

That's got it. It's not great but it suits my purpose. Some annoying error
messages are now gone.
Thanks.

Oops, cut'n'pasted the wrong line from my terminal. Try apt-get instead
of apt-cache.

Yes, I looked at apt-cache but that's the source for my question.
`--> apt-cache -s remove dbus
E: Invalid operation dbus
-or-
`--> apt-cache remove dbus
E: Invalid operation remove
It appears that remove is not supported in the fink version of apt-cache ...

I've got a bunch of one-liners that do various dep-tree parsing, but it
sounds like you want to walk "all the way up" and you only care about
what's already installed? In that case, 'apt-cache -s remove' seems to
be a dry-run at recursive removal, with output saying what would be
removed.

Yes, but used recursively that has the unfortunate side effect of actually
removing some things. fink remove has no --dry-run option. Maybe I'll look
into writing something that will tell me what I want. If I do I'll share it.
