The packages like www-browser are not a problem for me at present. I modified your script a little bit and settled onto $apt-rdepends privoxy 2>&1 |grep Depends |sed 's/^\s\+Depends: //' | sed 's/^\s\+PreDepends: //' |sed 's/([^)]\+)$//' |sort |uniq | tr '\n' ' ' The last tr is useful so that I can do sudo apt-get install `above command here` Other wise I do not know how to pass the result to apt-get without any fancy scripts. Any other ideas are also welcome. thanks raju -- This email account uses challenge-response system.
