I really don't know what you're trying to prove here. I would be interested in which words you would propose to distinguish between the two contexts.
The pacman defintion is a local definition which only applies to an individual PC. If I have an orphan package on my PC, it is not neccessarily an orphan on your PC.
The AUR definition of orphan is a global definition. Meaning, an orphan AUR package is orphan for everybody. I would distinguish this use case by calling it "abandoned" instead or oprhan.
Yes, "abandoned" is good indeed. Although, I would prefer to have orphan packages on my system be called "unneeded" packages. It is much more precise in my opinion. -- Lars Gustäbel lars@gustaebel.de
