I’ve been updating a TW minimal mate installation since May with the default settings in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf. After noticing that unrequired packages were sometimes being installed during updates, I changed solver.onlyRequires to true in the zypp.conf file. Is there any way to get a list of packages that have been installed as recommends during the “zypper dup” commands?
erlangen:~ # zypper packages --help
packages (pa) [OPTIONS] [REPOSITORY] ...
