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 think because the debfoster depends on dpkg: "src/conffile.c" 170L, 4706C /* Various files */ #define KEEPERS VAR"/lib/debfoster/keepers" #define STATUSFILE VAR"/lib/dpkg/status" #define AVAILABLEFILE VAR"/lib/dpkg/available" #define CONFIG_FILE ETC"/debfoster.conf" /* Only simple space-separated arguments can be given */ #define INSTALLCOMMAND "apt-get install" #define REMOVECOMMAND "apt-get --purge remove" #define INFOCOMMAND "dpkg -s" These seem the only dependecy. debfoster seems to be the successor of deborphan. Perhaps you can do the conversion? Or otherwise try to find someone interested on apt-rpm@distro2.conectiva.com.br The program itself compiled without problems. You may try to use apt list-extras as a start. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
