xavierp94 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I can recall when I used Ubuntu 9.10 it had a built in utility that cleaned uneeded packages that were installed in the system. Is there anything like that in Mandriva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yes :) On the command-line, as root: urpme --auto-orphans Of if you feel confident about it, still as root, edit the /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg, and between the curly brackets at the beginning, add a line with only this content: auto-orphans I don't know if this will work, but if it does, then it will be automatic each time you use the “Manage software†GUI tool, too.

SilverSurfer60 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 One needs to examine the list of files that --auto-orphans is going to remove. Otherwise it will remove something important to the system. Then you you will have a hell of a job finding out what was removed. Be warned!!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
