Dependency hell helper script idea

Have you ever upgraded your system one day,and the day after you tried to run a program that didn't work when you needed it?
Do you have some ignored package in pacman.conf? Will they continue to work after a system upgrade?

A very primitive script,I hope someone could improve it.

#!/bin/sh
PROGRAMS="/usr/bin/*"
for f in $PROGRAMS
do
ldd $f |grep found && echo $f
done

example:

ldd_test 
    libQtGui.so.4 => not found
    libQtCore.so.4 => not found
/usr/bin/cmake-gui
ldd: /usr/bin/core_perl: non è un file normale
    liblzma.so.0 => not found
/usr/bin/gpk-application
    liblzma.so.0 => not found
/usr/bin/gpk-backend-status
    libnotify.so.1 => not found
    liblzma.so.0 => not found
/usr/bin/gpk-dbus-service
    liblzma.so.0 => not found

Re: Dependency hell helper script idea

Theres a much better script in the devtools package called lddd:
