Suse 9.1 / Debian uninstall software


Hi,

for testing purposes I've installed a software package which caused some dependencies which were fixed automatically by installing the required packages.

Now I want to uninstall the software AND also the packages which were installed to fix the dependencies because they are not required by anything else.

Is there a way to uninstall all unneded packages automatically by scanning the dependency list?

I'm using Suse 9.1 and Debian Woody/Sarge.

Hope anyone can tell me how to do this. Any hint would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Greetings,
hotel-lima
