Ok, this makes me curious - how did you go about searching for packages installed on your system that are no longer available in the repos? Did you just check one by one?
They show in red. I posted the full procedure yesterday, I'll repost: - ---------------------------- On Saturday, 2018-02-17 at 21:57 +0800, George from the tribe wrote: ... ... trimming ... ... Another method: Fire "yast2 --qt sw_single &" View: repositories tab. Select the @System repo. Secondary filter: unmaintained packages. Now slowly review the produced list. When you find a suspect, select it, and click on the "versions" tab. There you will see from what repository it came initially. Then you may decide to keep the package, delete it, or perhaps add the current version of the repo that contains it, to update that package. For instance, that list rpoduces in my machine now: libHalf12 - 16-bit floating-point encapsulation class for OpenEXR 16-bit floating-point encapsulation class for OpenEXR. and it came from packman, but it is no longer there. I click "delete", yast doesn't complain, so I go ahead and select another: libIex-2_2-12 - Exception handling library for OpenEXR Exception handling library for OpenEXR. This time YaST complain and says it wants to delete others because of dependencies. Ok, fine. That way I clean some orphaned packages (they happen all the time, not only after a system upgrade; typically with pacman). I see another: misfortune. But this one I keep, because I installed it manually without adding the repo. I want it. I can see in the "Installation Summary" what it is going to delete, and in this case, also to update automatically: libHalf23, libIex-2_2-23... Then I also click on every repo to see the "unmaintained packages" that might be. Sometimes there are some more. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
