[opensuse] Finding unused packages
I've noticed some libraries and stuff laying around in my machine (opensuse 11.3) that are apparently not used by anything (selecting them for removal shows no dependency alerts). Some of these are old packages, as this machine was upgraded from 10.something.) Is there any tool to find this stuff? -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}\t%{DISTRIBUTION}\n" | sort or rpm -qa --last --queryformat "%{NAME}\t%{DISTRIBUTION}\n" "rpm --querytags" shows the available tags. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

From Packman[1]:
zypper in rpmorphan man rpmorphan HTH, -dnh [1] Add the "packman" repo (see http://packman.links2linux.de/MIRRORS.html for a list of mirrors) if you haven't already. Note, that the skynet.be and the unixheads.com mirrors still listed are somewhat dysfunctional and/or dead (-slow). If in doubt, use one of the german mirrors. -- "Irrigation of the land with sewater desalinated by fusion power is ancient.

in YaST / software installation / package groups the "orphaned packages" are collected in a separate package regards Geza -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

But Orphaned in Yast means those for which there is no repository, as opposed to those for which there is no "requires". -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
