Fedora (well, Yum, but Fedora uses Yum) have a useful little util called
‘package-cleanup’ (http://linux.die.net/man/1/package-cleanup) that
looks at dependencies and tells you which RPMs aren’t a dependency of
any other RPMs. The idea is that you can find which RPMs are installed
and don’t need to be (because you no longer have the app you installed
them for). So far I’ve not found anything similar in Suse/Yast.
Is there a simple way to do an equivalent to “package-cleanup --leaves”
in Suse to find unused library RPMs?
Someone has asked ‘a year and a bit ago’ (http://tinyurl.com/aq835x),
but they never seem to have got an answer (well, someone said “Yast can
do it” but preceded it with “unfortunately”, which implies a missing
“'t” from “can”).
