Over time my desktop machines tend to collect a lot of packages I no longer use.
For example, I see Caudium is running: $ ps aux | grep caudium root 16162 0.1 0.3 11436 2888 ? S Nov28 2:22 /usr/bin/pike7.6 -M/usr/lib/caudium/etc/modules /usr/lib/caudium/start-caudium --pid-file=/var/run/caudium/caudium.pid --config-dir=/etc/caudium/servers/ --log-dir=/var/log/caudium/ --with-threads root 8926 0.0 0.2 8828 2592 ?

Can I figure out what depends on that? That is, why it is installed? $ sudo apt-get remove caudium Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: caudium caudium-modules $ sudo apt-get remove pike7.6-core Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...
