Yeah.. this would require a more massive database than I think is in the scope of packages. This sort of big brother would basically track what is run, by what and when. It would then present stuff so that a user could see what they are using the most. However, in some cases, I would just like to know: poppler-glib: used by evince, gimp. That way I can say.. oh I used evince since the update.. and its working so I have not had a problem. >> B) is the package been used by something so I can see its usage by >> other daemons. > > So you would like to have a list of all packages that are depending on > this directly or indirectly?

I removed a couple hundred packages from my system today because I am not suing them and even just hitting return to go past them was taking a long time. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
