Note OP was running 10.04. > Would be interesting to hear what the results of your script are on > the 12.04 release? Note my script only reports on installed packages. You can use dctrl-tools queries to generate other reports. Work's migrating to Debian because we're sick of Canonical's NIH-happy rabid beaver model, so I don't really care anymore. When I wrote my original post on this thread, quacking turned up references to an in-Ubuntu tool to test this stuff, you might have luck with that. I didn't keep a bookmark, sorry. (Actually there was a bzr repo on launchpad for doing a similar job on 8.04, but I forget where it lives.)
