Package: cruft State: not installed Version: 0.9.12 Priority: optional Section: admin Maintainer: Marcin Owsiany <porridge@debian.org> Uncompressed Size: 1,348k Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1), file Description: Find any cruft built up on your system cruft is a program to look over your system for anything that shouldn't be there, but is; or for anything that should be there, but isn't.
