cool :)

I just released v0.2:
http://prevalent-digest.de/apt-findremovable/

.. it's getting slower (takes about 1min to complete),
but now it re-checks, if apt-cache rdepends results really depend on
that package, or if they only suggest/recommend it.

now the result on my system for 'apt-findremovable texlive' looks like this:

- -- cut --
Only texlive really depends on the following installed packages:
perl-tk texlive-doc-en tex-common texlive-latex-base texlive-base
texlive-doc-base libxml-parser-perl texlive-base-bin texlive-metapost
texlive-pdfetex libpoppler0c2 texlive-latex-recommended
texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-context
- -- end cut --

have fun trying it. (manually i would never have found that e.g. perl-tk
and libpoppler0c2 is not used by anything else .. )

cu,

Jan
