List of packages `Required By None'

I would like to know all the packages that are not required by any other package.

I stupidly deleted my /var/lib/pacman, I used the wiki pacman tips to remake the pacman database. But now every package is marked as explicitly installed.

If I could know the packages `Required By None' I could at least make a simple separation and fix with the pacman -D option.

Thanks.

Re: List of packages `Required By None'

There's no way of telling this w/o knowing which packages you have installed. firefox is often 'Required By    : None', but if you have e.g. arch-firefox-search then firefox is 'Required By    : arch-firefox-search'.
