Hello Lars, I was updating on Jaunty today and found 2 packages in Cruft Remover which are in "local or obsolete" within Synaptic (doc-base and libgnomevfs2-common). These packages cannot be removed. On the other hand are there linux-image packages in "local or obsolete" which are not listed in cruft remover. I have added a screenshot an will try to figure out what the difference is between the listed packages.
