I thought you might find this script useful: apt-cache rdepends `ls /a/l | cut -d_ -f1` | tr '\n' ';' | sed -r \ -e 's/Reverse Depends://g' \ -e 's/;; //g' \ -e 's/;+/\n/g' | \ egrep -v '^ ' | egrep -v ' ' | grep -v '|' | sort | less
Given a set of packagenames, it returns the ones for which 'apt-cache rdepends' shows no information. It's almost the same as deborphan -a, but there are a few differences. (Neither set is a subset of the other). For instance, deborphan -a outputs gaim, but apt-cache rdepends gaim lists 'harden-remoteflaws' as a dependency. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
