deborphan
deborphan finds packages installed on your Debian/GNU system that have no other packages depending on them. Its primary goal (and default action) is to trace unused libraries. A dialog frontend, orphaner, is included in the package for easy removal of packages.

Recent releases
- 18 Sep 2005 08:16
Changes: A bug has been fixed where very long section names caused the output format to be broken, which in turn confused orphaner. French translations of man pages have been added.
- 10 Jul 2005 05:43
Changes: Some i18n updates, documentation fixes, and packaging updates were done.
- 16 Mar 2005 09:26
Changes: The handling of exclude lists was refactored. Previously, there was a fixed limit of 64 excludes, which can easily be reached when using orphaner's simulate feature. A dynamically allocated list is now used.
- 16 Mar 2005 09:21
Changes: The list of dependencies was fixed. gettext-base comes with gettext.sh only since 0.14.1-6, so the dependency on gettext-base is now versioned.
- 16 Nov 2004 01:10
Changes: The Czech translation was updated.
