How can I perform such task in pacman?

Regards.

testdb? lddd? Depends what you mean by broken dependencies...

Like which command should I use after romoving a bunch of packages to check if nothing is missinga dep.

testdb. But pacman will not remove needed dependencies unless you use "-d" which is bad...

testdb is what your looking for, though unless you've been messing with the -d option with pacman it's hard to accidentally remove a dependency.

How are you removing packages? pacman -Rs removes packages and unneeded dependencies.

You need to intentionally do pacman -Rd pkg to get rid of a required package.

I'm using pacman -R without the s. So for now on I will use -Rs thanks a lot!

you can use pacman -Qdt to see if you have any orphaned dependencies from when you were removing stuff before
