The GNU C library (packaged as libc6 in
Debian) is the bedrock of a lot of code. What are the
packages that it depends on? (Yo, DebGraph!)

libc6 is one of the well-connected vertices in the
lower-left corner (third quadrant, if you like). For graphs
like this one, we would like DebGraph to identify dependency
cycles (loops). For example, libc6 depends on
libgcc1, which in turn depends on libc6.
This can be seen in the graph above by applying some careful
scrutiny, but why not let the computer work its magic for
us? (To be continued.)

As a bonus, who depends on arping 2.05-2 for i386?
