Aj.. You do know that APT has included such a function for quite some time now, apt-cache unmet -i will print out all packages which cannot be installed due to unment important dependencies (omit -i and it considers suggests/recommnds too) That said, anyone want to voleteer to make an API wrapper for libapt-pkg -> perl/python? There seems to be alot of interest in such things now. Jason
