those tools where created a long time ago, they are old, not outdated !!
there still beeing updated.
they are used alot in linux system scripts
a huge part of the scripts around relay on those

so, is it worth it ? (and pardon the my french) hell yeah

their importance is more clear after you learn how many things they can do

how much in depth you learn depends on what you spect to accomplish

NAME
dose--outdated - detect uninstallable packages due to obsolete dependencies SYNOPSIS
dose--outdated [option] ... file ... DESCRIPTION
dose-outdated identifies in a debian package repository those packages that are not installable with respect to that repository by the their inter-package relationships (dependencies, conflicts, ...), and that furthermore cannot become installable (in the current version) how matter how the rest of the repository evolves. This means that this package has to be updated in the repository to ever become installable again. Input Specification Input files have to contain stanzas in the format of deb-control(5), separated by one blank line. For instance, the Packages files as found on a Debian mirror server, or in the directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ of a Debian system, are suitable as input. The repository used in the analysis consists of the union of all packages from the input files. Output Specification The output of dose-outdated is in the YAML format. OPTIONS
-f --failure Print the list of broken packages -e --explain Explain the results in more detail. -s Print a summary of broken packages. --dump Dump to standard output in CUDF format the packages that are internally generated and exit (mostly useful for debugging purposes). --checkonly package[,package] ... Specifies a list of packages to check. By default all packages are checked. -v Enable info / warnings / debug messages. This option may be repeated up to three times in order to increase verbosity. --progress Display progress bars. -h, --help Display this list of options. EXAMPLE
dose-outdated -f -v /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages AUTHORS
