You can run this script, it won't mess up your dpkg/apt state. run "perl apt-update-stat.pl" for help.
Because indirect circular dependence is not handled properly, libc gets a rdepends_score -10000000, I don't know why there is circular dependence and how to deal with it. Can anybody give an explanation? And notice I don't consider source packages, the default score setting in calculate_score() subroutine is probably not proper.

With the help of Brendan O'Dea I wrote something similar a while back as a way of determining the most depended upon packages as part of an exercise to determine the most important things for the Linux Standard Base to standardize. The script and result are at, http://freestandards.org/futures/identification/depends/ In particular the annotated output is sorta interesting (but out of date now, I should re-run it at some point). Have you published output from your tool anywhere? -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED]
