It might be useful though to have a package group or filter to show the "Unneeded packages" left in the system for a user not inclined to clean up packages at every uninstall. For that user a button/menu item somewhere that goes "search for and weed out all unneeded installed packages" might be of great help. A user might want to reserve some unneeded packages, for example to help him with building stuff, and use such a button every once in 2--3 months to do a weeding :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- 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.
