[Slackbuilds-users] Dependency cleanup after package removal

[Dominik Drobek]

Hi,

I was wondering how do people manage dependency cleanup when 
uninstalling SBo packages?

Suppose the user first installs package A what depends on packages X, Y 
and Z (all from SBo). Later the user installs package B that depends on 
Y, and finally installs C that depends on X.

When A is removed, then Z is clearly not needed anymore. This is easy to 
figure out in this simple example, but when ~200 SBo packages are 
installed in the system it's not straightforward.

Is there any tool for automatic detection of such "orphaned" 
dependencies that can be safely removed?

Regards,
Dominik
