Hi,
I'm developing a tool to run apt-get on demand.
http://www.debian.org/~ukai/auto-apt/
Source: auto-apt
Section: admin
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Fumitoshi UKAI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Standards-Version: 3.0.1
Build-Depends: binutils, cpio, debhelper, devscripts, libc6-dev
Package: auto-apt
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, apt, sudo
Recommends: wget, dpkg-dev
Description: on demand apt tool
auto-apt checks file access of programs running within auto-apt
environments, and if the program try to access a file of uninstalled
package, auto-apt will install the package containing the file,
by using apt-get.
.
It also provides simple database to search which package contains
a requesting file.
This will be useful for users such as [from [EMAIL PROTECTED]]

With auto-apt, in this situation, bin86 package will be automatically
installed when as86 is to be executed.
auto-apt also provides package search function from filename for not-yet
installed package. For this features, auto-apt retrieves Contents-$ARCH.gz
and generates database, as Packages.gz/Sources.gz for apt.
auto-apt also be used for check build-depends, since auto-apt can check
which files/binaries were accessed/executed.
Regards,
Fumitoshi UKAI
