Hi,
I know, this is probably a very common question, but I couldn't find any
information on the pacman wiki article about that, so I have to ask. How
can I uninstall all packages on my system, which have been installed as
a dependency, and aren't needed any longer? (Because I've uninstalled
the dependent package or because the dependent package no longer depends
on that dependency)
I've read about pacman -Qe, but this lists packages I've explicitly
installed and don't want to remove. And please, don't just point to the
wiki article, I've checked that already.
Check again under
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Querying_package_databases
(look for "orphan").
Best,
Ista
Thanks in advance,
Lukas
