Package: graphviz
Version: 2.20.2-3
Severity: normal

The man page for 'prune' says:
   prune  reads  directed  graphs in the same format used by dot(1) and removes
   subgraphs rooted at nodes specified on the command line via  options.

With the attached dot file as starting point, I tried:
   prune -n libparse-debianchangelog-perl -N "shape=diamond" aptitude.dot

With the expectation that everything "below" libparse-debianchangelog-perl
would be removed from the graph and thus significantly reduce its size.
However, that's not what happened. Instead the graph gets split into
two separate parts.

I tried adding '-n libncurses5' as that was the only remaining connection,
but that only made the split complete. I still got two separate graphs
instead of just the reduced graph for aptitude.

Subject: 'prune' behavior is by design
Date: Sat, 19 Dec 2009 18:22:34 +0000
From: David Claughton <dave@eclecticdave.com>
To: Frans Pop ; 546726-done@bugs.debian.org <elendil@planet.nl>

Hi,

It looks to me like this behaviour is by design.

What is happening here, is 'prune' removes child nodes *until* it
encounters one with multiple parent nodes, whereupon it only removes the
linking edge.  It deliberately avoids deleting the node in this
instance, and even if it did it has no capability to walk "backwards"
along the graph to delete the other parents.

It might be possible to achieve what you want using 'gvpr' or perhaps a
combination of 'prune' and 'gvpr'.  I haven't examined this possibility
in any great detail however ;-)

Closing this bug as I don't think there is anything to do here.  Feel
free to reopen it if you disagree!

Cheers,

	David.
