I don't think package-cleanup > currently has any idea/cares why something was installed. No, my sentence was confusing. « package-cleanup --leaves » will tell you what installed packages are no longer required by any other on your system. Of course, it can't know why you installed them or even if something outside of its scope (e.g. a program you compiled manually) still needs one of those. I shouldn't have spoken about the intent of the user, you're right. :) To be more correct, « --leaves » will list packages on which no others depend AND that match the defined « leaf_regex ». A quick look at the source seems to indicate that returned packages will be mostly libraries, as the default leaf_regex appears to be "(^(compat-)?lib.+|.*libs?[\d-]*$)". ---------- Mathieu Bridon (bochecha) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
