UnusedPkg
UnusedPkg is a diagnostic tool to search the oldest unused packages in your Linux system. UnusedPkg prints a sorted list with the size and number of days that a package has been idle. This helps you determine what packages can be manually removed to clean the system. It supports any apt-based distribution (tested on Debian and Ubuntu) and Slackware.

I'm sorry but this project is completly useless, if you use an automated update tool. Indicated is, when the project was last updated - not run.

Then, UnusedPkg checks the "access time" (verifiable with ls -alu filename or stat -c %x filename). As said, this timestamp is update by any file data request, like ldconfig library check. I hope it can be useful and thank you for downloading UnusedPkg =)

And answering my own question: if ldconfig got run a
package with files in a path in /etc/ld.so.conf will be
flagged "active".

Hi,
How do you determine the "idle time" of a package? I don't quite understand the times it comes up with on my Slack12 installation - things I haven't touched in weeks are being listed as 1 day ago, for example.
Cheers,
Tink
