Le cas typique de lib supprimée par cette commande est la libc6-i686 dont aucun paquets ne dépend, pourtant, on peut la trouver utile cette lib optimisée pour l'architecture i686 :
fredo@cthulhu:~$ dpkg -s libc6-i686
Package: libc6-i686
Status: install ok installed
Priority: extra
Section: libs
Installed-Size: 2148
Maintainer: GNU Libc Maintainers <debian-glibc@lists.debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Source: glibc
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-20
Pre-Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-20)
Description: GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i686 optimized]
Contains the standard libraries that are used by nearly all programs on the system. This package includes shared versions of the standard C library and the standard math library, as well as many others.
.
This set of libraries is optimized for i686 machines, and will only be
used if you are running a 2.6 kernel on an i686 class CPU (check the output of `uname -m'). This includes Pentium Pro, Pentium II/III/IV, Celeron CPU's and similar class CPU's (including clones such as AMD Athlon/Opteron, VIA C3 Nehemiah, but not VIA C3 Ezla).
.
This package includes support for NPTL.
.
WARNING: Some third-party binaries may not work well with these libraries. Most notably, IBM's JDK. If you experience problems with such applications, you will need to remove this package.
