Statistics on package usage?

Hi,

I've been using the same Arch installation for about 4 years now.
It had recently come to my attention that there might be a lot of packages that I've installed over the years, and rarely use now days.

Is there any way to get statistics on the package usage in my system?

Thanks a lot,
fiod

Pacgraph give you a graphical overview of all installed packages. You might want to check it out.

I'm sure there are other options as well, but I'm way too wasted to think clearly right now.

I think it's good if you know what every package in your system does, what do you need it for.
Regular clean-ups help.

I would suggest just going through the list of all installed packages.
