Dependencies check

LukynZ · 2009-10-19 10:25:04

Example:

I have removed some packages installed as dependency. Now I want to check all dependency tree and find what is missing and install it.

Well, Gentoo's portage do this automatically during every update and pacman don't. I am unable to find a way how to do it. Am I lame or pacman just can't do this?

pacman would have checked when you were removing the packages, and warned you if they were still needed - unless, of course, you expicitly skipped that check.

Install yaourt (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5863) and run yaourt -Su. This will show you all missing dependencies. I don't know if pacman can do this, but yaourt is a tool I don't want to miss any more.

Thanks for yaourt tip. It solved my problem I am not sure if pacman can do it..at least I didn't find a way to.

2 tomk: yes I had to use -Rd
