Why do we need more information than the info we currently have to

Maybe you missed the *when removing a package* in the mail subject.
Or it's just me missing something :O) Please explain.

J.

Does your algorithm work for leaf packages that I install and that are
not required by another packages? lets say libwt, which I use for
development. As nobody depends on it, it will be removed, but it should
only be removed if it was dragged by the solver , not if it was a
explicit user transaction.

I think you need to limit your "set of packages" to the requires of glest. And
then it could work.

If this can't work, then I'd suggest to make "list-unused" or "remove-unused"
an action separate from remove.

Greetings, Stephan
