The answer tells you anything you need to know. Plus reading some documentation if you don't understand some bits is always useful. And if you are frightened of depclean you should at least know what -p means so this wont damage anything. Regarding udept, I would really like the idea if someone ore the original maintainer starts continuing this excellent tool. For now it works quite reliable but being unmaintained I fear it will get more and more unusable. -- Regards, Daniel
