<PRE>'Twas brillig, and David Walser at 28/03/12 17:07 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> We know that urpme --auto-orphans doesn't remove all orphaned libraries,
</I>&gt;<i> and there are reasons for that.  Manually you generally should be able to
</I>&gt;<i> get rid of them, and generally urpmi_rpm-find-leaves will show them.  There
</I>&gt;<i> are three I noticed in my upgrade tests that aren't being shown, so they only
</I>&gt;<i> way I found them was diffing the installed package list against the list of
</I>&gt;<i> RPMS from my mirror.  They are:
</I>&gt;<i> libxulrunner9.0.1
</I>&gt;<i> libhunspell1.2_0
</I>&gt;<i> libnotify1
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Also not being shown is libvpx0, which is still on the mirror, but has been
</I>&gt;<i> replaced by libvpx1, so the script should be removing libvpx0 from the tree
</I>&gt;<i> pretty soon.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I'm guessing these don't show in up in find-leaves because of some inter-
</I>&gt;<i> dependencies between them.  Is there anything we can do to fix this?  Of
</I>&gt;<i> course it's also a bit unfortunate to be leaving behind these old libraries
</I>&gt;<i> that contain security vulnerabilities...
</I>
urpmq --not-available


This command shows all packages currently installed that are no longer
available via the media.

I pretty much exclusively use this tool to tidy up my systems as the
auto-orphan state always seems to get out of sync for me.
