Re: [Fink-beginners] Detecting and Removing Unneeded Packages

[Alexander Hansen]

An excellent question.  The best way that I've come up with to date is 
to use the "deborphan" package--it can scan your system for packages 
that nothing depends on.

A recent observation that a command to install a single package 
(aterm) prompted the installation of 12 other packages, presumably 
unneeded by anything else in my fink installation, brings to mind this 
question: If I decide to remove a package, is there any way of 
determining what additional packages are no longer needed?
