-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi,
I hope this is the right mailinglist for this. I always had the problem, that if I removed a package via apt-get remove, that there were still other packages that only were installed because of that package. I wrote a little perl-script: NAME apt-findremovable - tries to find out which packages might be installed only because of a specified one. SYNOPSIS $ apt-findremovable <package-name> DESCRIPTION we use 'apt-cache depends' and 'apt-cache rdepends' to find out which packages might be installed only because of the specified one. EXAMPLE $ ./apt-findremovable texlive ... Only texlive depends on the following installed packages: perl-tk texlive-doc-en texlive-context texlive-metapost The v0.1 release can downloaded via: http://prevalent-digest.de/apt-findremovable/apt-findremovable-0.1.tar.bz2 So my questions are: Is there a mailinglist special for apt-tools? Does a tool like this already exist? Would alioth.debian.org be the right place for this? cu, Jan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFInAZ58nJkn8diosRA1S7AKC44GtaofheGWG7Z0NiQuB6FhVzwACgxtPb wDnn3RHyi4sypymI+1fdh4s= =SC+e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
