Great Manoj,
really a wonderful tool of which I (guess amongst others) where unaware
of having actually installed !!!

The pkg-revdeps works beautifully. Can you guess what is causing the
pkg-deptree procedure to abend in the follwoing case ?

root@localhost > pkg-revdeps procps
procps
  libc6
    ldso
  ncurses3.4
    libc6

root@localhost > pkg-deptree procps
Not including libc6-doc 1 Errors 
tsort: cycle in data
tsort: libpam0g
tsort: libpam0g-util
procps

Strangely enough "pkg-deptree libc6" works flawlessy and "dpk-deptree
gcc" gives the tsort errors like for procps but then outputs a fairly
complete list.

My pkg-order is version 1.02 and perl is 5.004.04-6

Thank you. Bob
