[SOLVED]Uninstall some packages, without uninstalling others.

I want to uninstall a group of packages X , but when I will uninstall, it appears that I can not do this, since there are packages A, B, C that make dependency with other packages on the system.

So how do I uninstall the group of packages X, without remove the packages A, B, C (as if they were exceptions).

Forgive me because of the noob certificate ....

Re: [SOLVED]Uninstall some packages, without uninstalling others.

So you installed group X, but now you want to remove some of it, but not the ones that are dependencies?

Sounds like you want to remove "unneeded" packages in that group.

man pacman | less -p unneeded

Mod note: moving to NC.
