Removal of left out packages
Hi,
I removed calamares and orphans kde packages are left behind , for orphan packages I used
# pacman -Qdtq | pacman -Rns - command but that did not remove orphan kde packages .How to get rid of those?
I tried # pacman -Qdtq | pacman -Rns - kde but got error error: argument '-' specified with empty stdin , ( I knew this command wont work ! ) so how to get rid of following packages at once and safely ?

Re: Removal of left out packages
Pacman -Qdt only lists packages that were installed as dependencies but are no longer required by any installed package .
The packages you list may have been explicitly installed or required by other packages still present.
Investigate by running pacman -Qi on the individual packages .
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: Removal of left out packages
Investigate why each package is needed, e.g.
$ pactree -r kactivities5(note: pactree is part of the pacman-contrib package in [extra])
If the command only outputs the package name, then it's not a hard dependency of anything else, and chances are you have installed it 'explicitly', check with
pacman -Qi <package> | grep "Install Reason"If that is the case, then you'll need to 'explicitly' remove it, e.g. 'pacman -Rns <package>'
If pactree produces a tree output, then the end branches are the packages you need to inspect, e.g. on my system I would need to remove plasma5-integration, okteta, k3b, oxygen5, and breeze5 to clean up kded5:
$ pactree -r kded5
kded5
└─kio5
├─k3b
├─kdeclarative5
│ └─kcmutils5
│ ├─k3b
│ └─okteta
├─knewstuff5
│ ├─frameworkintegration5
│ │ ├─breeze5
│ │ └─oxygen5
│ ├─k3b
│ └─okteta
├─knotifyconfig5
│ └─k3b
├─kparts5
│ └─okteta
├─libkcddb5
│ └─k3b
├─okteta
└─plasma5-integration
# pacman -Rnsu plasma5-integration okteta k3b oxygen5 breeze5
checking dependencies...

Mod note: Moving to Pacman Issues.
