For example: i want to install 'glest': glest needs glest-data so both get installed. Then i get bored with glest and want to remove it, but currently using 'zypper remove glest' will remove only 'glest', glest-data stays needlessly installed.
What i want to achieve is something like: $ zypper remove --auto-remove-whathever glest .... The following packages are going to be REMOVED: glest-data glest
(maybe with an additional section in the summary like this: The following package is unused and will be removed: glest-data )
Hi Jano, now it is clear, but I must disappoint you. As I have already written in fate:
"The solver needs the additional information WHY a package has been installed. (User decision, Requirement of other packages, Recommends,....). This information is not available at the moment. With this information it would be possible." There is no change to solve it, cause the solver does not have this information.
It is perfectly reasonable to be able to do this, i just wanted to ask if there already is support for this in the current solver, or it needs to be implemented.
It is mainly not a solver problem but an information problem concerning who, when and why a package has been selected for installation. This information will not be stored at the moment.
