aptitude is a dpkg front-end which can remove orphaned packages. Say you do aptitude install x. x depends on liby, so both are installed. You then do aptitude remove x. liby is no longer of use, so aptitude also removes that (first checking that no other packages depend on it).
I see it's present in the fink repository <http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/aptitude>, but not on Intel and not in stable or binary. I have a couple of questions: - does that aptitude package work as expected with binary packages? - does it work with source packages and, if not, is there a fink equivalent?
