- Administrator wants to browse through packages which nothing
depends
upon, for auditing for removal.
I'm sure there's a few more. "rpm -q --leafnodes" perhaps, plus a
little
more verbosity from "yum uninstall" detailing packages this was the sole
dependancy for?
1. let's not add more items to rpm's interface.
2. yum doesn't have an 'uninstall' option - it is remove or erase
3. yum-utils contains package-cleanup.
'package-cleanup --leaves --all' lists all programs that nothing
depend on
'package-cleanup --leaves' lists all libraries (or as close as it
can guess) that nothing depends on.
