same for /usr/bin/dep-clean

The above was for /usr/bin/qpkg, now I found some more of these.
This is /usr/bin/dep-clean.

Is there a reason you want to use -u option?

[Comment 6 Nicolas Kaiser 2003-08-10 16:32:09 UTC]

"sort -u" is a lot faster. Here's a nice article about it:
http://www.itworld.com/nl/unix_sys_adm/04112001/

Quote:"Large problems or easy optimization makes optimizing a solution sensible. In the case of sort -u, the latter is true (..). If you don't need extra system calls (i.e., to uniq), then avoid it."

again /usr/bin/revdep-rebuild

I just see uniq is called twice in a row in rev-dep-rebuild.
One time is enough ;)
