[SOLVED] Still getting used to pacman. Question.

[Pogeymanz]

How can I get pacman to remove unneeded dependencies that are left behind. So far, for uninstalling something I've just been using "pacman -R package" instead of "pacman -Rs", which I believe removes the dependencies as well.

I want to clean up the dependencies I've left by not including that s.

[Rumor]

pacman -Qdt will give you a list of orphaned packages. You can then remove them individually.

Cool!

[PurposeOfReason]

Just a note to be careful what you remove from that list. Things such as autoconf and make will appear on that list and I'm sure you'll want those.

I usually rip things out with yaourt -Rcsn pkgname, but that will occasionally try to pull out unrelated software, if it shares a dependency.
