But zypper does. In one go.
Yes, absolutely. But you do not need all that to remove a few packages. In my case, doing it with zypper takes about five minutes of the clock, whereas rpm ends in seconds.
Thus what I say is that using zypper for removing a package or two is an overkill, and just as safe, not more.
I prefer this "zypper rm -u YYY" as it also removes packages installed only because package YYY installed it, so less garbage in my system.
You may prefer that and that may be the most prudent method, but zypper, nor anything else, is not infallible and certainly does *not* know about applications you may have installed not from zypper/rpm. But rpm will also be a problem then. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
