A new target has been added to xbps-bin: autoremove. It works in the same way than 'apt-get', but there's no stdin input. By default it will list you all orphaned packages, and -f flag must be set to really remove them. The following is a real example for the git package, which requires directly perl and curl-libs, and indirectly libidn and openssl. $ xbps-bin -r ~/testing-xbps remove git Removing package git-1.6.1.3 ... done. $ $ xbps-bin -r ~/testing-xbps autoremove The following packages were installed automatically (as dependencies) and aren't needed anymore: perl-5.10.0 curl-libs-7.19.0 libidn-1.10 openssl-0.9.8j If you are really sure you don't need them, use -f to confirm. $ --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 70eebaa3d99be27753b94f580c8ec86330c7c2d3
