libraries that are no longer used by anything?

Hi Chanchao,

Have a look at deborphan. Here's its package description:
__

deborphan finds "orphaned" packages on your system.
It determines which packages have no other packages
depending on their installation, and shows you a list of
these packages. It is most useful when finding libraries,
but it can be used on packages in all sections.

Hope it helps.

Cheers, Dave.
