If you use aptitude for everything, it will keep track of packages that are automatically installed when a specific package is installed. For instance, if I install a package that pulls in libpq4, I can remove that package and aptitude will remove the libpg4 assuming I haven't installed anything else that depends on it. I believe this functionality would address what you want. The key is that you have to use aptitude for all package installation/uninstallation tasks. wt -- Warren Turkal, Research Associate III/Systems Administrator Colorado State University, Dept. of Atmospheric Science -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
