[SOLVED] Problem removing orphaned packages..
HI Guys. I'm trying to remove orphaned packages from my system using "pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qqtd)" but I get this output below. What has happened & how do I go about fixing this :? This is my first major problem since switching to arch. Many thanks in advanced for helping & replying....

Re: [SOLVED] Problem removing orphaned packages..
No, you don't want to remove archlinux-keyring, gawk, and probably several of the other packages in that list.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem removing orphaned packages..
Thanks for replying so quickly 
I know that I don't want to remove any of that, but when I ran that command before nothing was listed. Now there's all that listed & there's a ton of things that I need for my desktop to function. What have I done wrong to cause this & how can I make it go away :?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem removing orphaned packages..
I should mentioned that when I installed the system I installed pamac to give it a try. I uninstalled it though. I also have yay installed....

Re: [SOLVED] Problem removing orphaned packages..
I don't know what I done, but I rebooted & now whenever I run "pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qqtd)" there's nothing showing. I don't have a clue as to what happened or how it got fixed, but it's fixed....
