How can I check? I'm not an expert on libGLU issues, so I suggest asking debian-user or maybe debian-x. libutahglx1 doesn't appear to be maintained anymore, it has seen several NMUs in a row: branden@auric:~$ madison libutahglx1 W: Archive maintenance is in progress; database inconsistencies are possible. libutahglx1 | 0.0-cvs-20010702-3 | stable | alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc libutahglx1 | 0.0-cvs-20010702-4.2 | testing | alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc libutahglx1 | 0.0-cvs-20010702-4.2 | unstable | m68k libutahglx1 | 0.0-cvs-20010702-4.3 | unstable | alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc > I was going to zap libutahglx1, but my libraries seem to be fairly > wrecked (this system started as deb 2.1 a couple of years ago and I've > just been apt'ing for security, etc. since then).

A better tool for identifying library packages you don't need anymore is "deborphan". That's both the package name and the command name. -- G.
