pacworld and broken packages

jaideep_jdof · 2007-10-13 08:13:01

i recently uninstalled kedmod and installed fluxbox. The problem i am facing is that the command : pacman -Qee is showing many broken packages but pacworld utility is showing just one.

How do i reinstall all the broken packages.

`pacman -Qe` shows orphans, "-Q --orphans(-Qe): list all packages installed as dependencies but no longer required by any package";
this basically means you can uninstall them if you don't explicitly need them.

Thanks, is it possible to uninstall all the orphans at one go.
