What do I do?

eldragon · 2009-09-10 16:01:11

reinstall them all exclusively? what did you remove recently?

genisis300 · 2009-09-10 16:01:34

ignore it, some of them probably got pulled in by another package. What command did you run to get that output?

skorpan · 2009-09-10 16:07:39

I did "tupac -Syu" to get that output. This is the end of my /var/log/pacman.log:

Do you get the same output with "pacman -Qtd"?

Use pacman -R $(pacman -Qdtq). This command will uninstall all non-required packages in your system. Run this until your system is totally "clean".

Cya!

In this case

DO NOT DO THIS

Look at the list of packages that are claimed to be orphans. I'm sure he would not be happy to loose grub or kernel26.... Something is clearly wrong here.

You are right. There are critical packages in that list... very odd.
