Remove unused dependencies/libraries.

Is there an easy way to do this? with apt it was apt-get autoremove.

pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qdtq)

pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qqdt)

but be careful with it, better first check what 'pacman -Qqdt' believes is unneeded.

thanks for the links, they are very useful.

pacman -qdt

boost 1.43.0-1
gnokii 0.6.29-1
gnome-keyring 2.30.3-2
liboil 0.3.17-1
networkmanager 0.8.1-1
opencv 2.1.0-1
perl-html-parser 3.66-1
perl-uri 1.54-1
pilot-link 0.12.5-1
qscintilla 2.4.4-2
vlc 1.1.3-1

most of those i don't use, but a couple i do. vlc for example, is a package, not a dependency. is there a more accurate way so i can include it in a shellscript without worrying that packages will be removed?

the only reason i ask is because doing it manually with a large list could take a while.

thanks.

install vlc as explicit. pacman -S vlc --asexplicit

I suggest 'man pacman' instead of googling.

ok thanks, that was obvious. (:
