What's not working
Ambiguous definition of --unneeded
and --orphans
.
pamac remove --help
Remove packages pamac remove [options] [package(s),group(s)] options: --unneeded, -u : remove packages only if they are not required by any other packages --cascade, -c : remove all target packages, as well as all packages that depend on one or more target packages --orphans, -o : remove dependencies that are not required by other packages, if this option is used without package name remove all orphans --no-orphans : do not remove dependencies that are not required by other packages --no-save, -n : ignore files backup --dry-run, -d : only print what would be done but do not run the transaction --no-confirm : bypass any and all confirmation messages
As far as I can comprehend from the definitions above (same thing goes for the manpage), both --unneeded
and --orphans
have practically the same exact definition. Perhaps adding some more info either in the --help
or the manpage or ideally both would be very beneficial.
How to reproduce?
