Environment variables:

As a usage example, I don't have but the most basic qt stuff, and no rrd-data-graphing, no ruby etc., ie. typical household optional dependencies. This is in my bash environment: export LDDD_LIB_IGNORE='' export LDDD_DONT_CHECK='' LDDD_LIB_IGNORE="${LDDD_LIB_IGNORE} *libruby*" LDDD_LIB_IGNORE="${LDDD_LIB_IGNORE} *libtk8.5*" LDDD_LIB_IGNORE="${LDDD_LIB_IGNORE} *libqt-mt*" LDDD_LIB_IGNORE="${LDDD_LIB_IGNORE} *libbonobo*" LDDD_LIB_IGNORE="${LDDD_LIB_IGNORE} *libpanel-applet*" LDDD_LIB_IGNORE="${LDDD_LIB_IGNORE} *libgnome*" LDDD_LIB_IGNORE="${LDDD_LIB_IGNORE} *librrd*" LDDD_DONT_CHECK="${LDDD_DONT_CHECK} *lib/nautilus/extensions*" LDDD_DONT_CHECK="${LDDD_DONT_CHECK} *lib/firefox-3.5/components*" LDDD_DONT_CHECK="${LDDD_DONT_CHECK} *lib/qt/plugins/sqldrivers*" LDDD_DONT_CHECK="${LDDD_DONT_CHECK} *lib/xine/plugins*" You might also want to put settings like this into per-subsystem files sourced in a little three line script for cron. Every once in a while and after "risky" updates I run: time lddd-c.sh -v which should produce no list of broken packages. It takes about a minute on my system[1], a little less than the original lddd, but without the irritating false positives. [1] double that for empty filesystem caches. clemens
