Nice!    
        Linux continually amazes me as to what is under it's hood. 

Immediately I tried it also on  " kde- "; " gnome- "; " alsa- "
of interest: " apt-cache unmet " produced a long list of unmet dependencies 
that I was not aware of.  I'll start a new thread on this.

     man apt-cache  
            apt-cache performs a variety of operations on APT’s package cache.
       apt-cache does not manipulate the state of the system but does provide
       operations to search and generate interesting output from the package
       metadata.
