You can also use "apt-cache dotty <pkgname(s)>" to get a graphical outlook of what you have installed. Presumably, every node that is an end point is an 'application' (or an orphaned lib) according to your definintion. It'll also let you see really quickly if a package that the useless application you are removing requires is needed by anything else or can be removed as well. The following script should give you a space separated list of installed packages that will then be fed into apt-cache dotty: apt-cache dotty -o APT::Cache::GivenOnly=true `fink list -i | cut -f 2 | xargs echo` > packages.dot You can the use graphviz to look at the dotty file and pick out box packages that have no arrows pointing AT them.
