Yeah, that's what I use debfoster for. aptitude is a bit better at it, I think, but debfoster does a good enough job at it and it's very, very fast. aptitude may be able to handle the stuff that debfoster misses but deborphan gets, though. The startup delay really is kind of annoying, although I alas don't have any good suggestions for how to make it faster. I should find some free time and play with a profiler.... (For that matter, the dpkg delay on "Reading database" is kind of annoying too. Hm. Good project for someone.) -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
