Hello,

This is typical situation, I install app A but it requires library L. 
I install both, then it appears I don't need A anymore, so I remove 
it, but I have no clue what to remove too.

From user point of view, it would be great to click on "check for 
unused software" and SM would show list of unused libraries, so user 
could easily remove them.

Technically I can imagine it could be done by building reverse 
dependency tree and show all leaves. The drawback of such approach 
would be in including main apps too :-) Maybe it could be solved by 
checking if:
1) there is an executable in the package
2) any of the files in the package were accessed lately
3) did user install it explictly or it was SM call (fullfilling 
requirements)

have a nice day, bye
