Packages with bad dependencies

[Nikhil Nair <nn201@cus.cam.ac.uk>]

Hi,

While I was installing, I took a snapshot of the debian-alpha stuff on
master.

I've written a little script to find packages with bad dependencies.  I'm
sure it can be improved - the "bad dependencies" I've picked up are on
libc5{,-*}, libc6{,-*}, libgdbm1* .  Is this list correct - is libc6-dev a
bad dependency?

---------------------------------------

#! /bin/sh
# findold - find .deb files depending on old packages
# Nikhil Nair <nnair@debian.org>, 28 September 1997
#
# This script examines all .deb files in the current directory or in
# subdirectories.

find . -name '*.deb' -print | \
sed -e 's:^\./::' | \
{
  while read file
  do
    dep=`dpkg-deb -f $file pre-depends depends`
    echo $dep | grep -q libc5 || \
      echo $dep | grep -q 'libc6[^\(\.1\)]\|libc6$' || \
      echo $temp | grep -q libgdbm1 || \
      continue
    echo "Filename: $file"
    echo "$dep"
    echo
  done
}

exit 0

---------------------------------------

The output from the master tree is below.  Maybe these should be retired,
even if replacements aren't yet available?  We don't want these to
propagate ...

Cheers,

Nikhil.
