'zypper packages --unneeded' lists unneeded packages (though the output looks a bit weird as it also lists uninstalled packages, which does not make sense here). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, "zypper packages --unneeded" does not work as expected. It shows packages like "grub" and "xorg-x11", which definitely can't be considered unneeded.

Yes. But due to the way we currently use patterns during installation, too many packages are automatically selected by the resolver, thus potential candidates for cleanup. We need to solve our pattern issues before we can improve the cleanup. Maybe 13.2. will behave better.

"Zypper 1.9 brings a number of bugfixes but no new features."

Maybe the author considered this missing option to be bug, rather than a new feature. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Indeed the group is there in text YaST, I just couldn't find it (it's sometimes hard to realize what is a heading, what is a button etc. in Ncurses ...), but still, it's missing in the GTK interface. Despite that, the bug is still valid because the feature to show unneeded packages (by "zypper packages --unneeded" or by YaST) is not working correctly (be it because of pattern handling or for whatever different reasons). And the second point about removing unneeded packages after having removed a dependent package is also still valid. https://features.opensuse.org/309577 is marked as done, also I can't find a feature like "apt-get autoremove" in openSUSE. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
