(initial message, several replies will be forwarded shortly) Hi, We've received several requests to provide a feature to automatically remove unused packages resulting from removing a package (or more packages). For example: i want to install 'glest': glest needs glest-data so both get installed. Then i get bored with glest and want to remove it, but currently using 'zypper remove glest' will remove only 'glest', glest-data stays needlessly installed. What i want to achieve is something like: $ zypper remove --auto-remove-whathever glest .... The following packages are going to be REMOVED: glest-data glest (maybe with an additional section in the summary like this: The following package is unused and will be removed: glest-data ) It is perfectly reasonable to be able to do this, i just wanted to ask if there already is support for this in the current solver, or it needs to be implemented. BTW: if this is not in current solver yet, i don't known whether this should be implemented in the SAT solver or still in the current solver.
