Alright well thats the thing .. I already knew of these commands (sorry I didnt mention this in OP) .. the problem with these commands is that they dont tell you which 'application' use the packages it lists ... they only tell you this information in terms of package names, from which you cant really tell which 'application' is it thats in the line of fire ... !

anyways here is the output I get when I type in apt-get remove libqt4-test:

Code:
home/user # apt-get remove libqt4-test
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
/home/user # apt-get remove libqt4-test
