I use apt-get on my SuSE 9.0 system to keep it current. But I worry that I might have bunches of orphaned RPM's sitting around as dependencies for packages I no longer have installed. Why aren't 'debfoster' and 'deborphan' available for SuSE Linux? Is there any way to get them working on this RPM-based system? Is there some other package I can install which does the same thing, examines the libraries I have and tells me which aren't needed by anything I have installed? I did a search on the archives and found lots of other people looking for something like this, but no good answers. What do y'all use to keep your system free of orphaned libraries?
