Re: How to keep the system clean?

[Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb eskimo com>]

If you're just trying to uninstall a program and you want to uninstall
dependencies, before removing a package do

rpm -q --requires PACKAGENAME

This will give you a list of that packagegs dependencies.  Then, for each
dependency you can do

rpm -q --whatrequires DEPENDENCY

and if the only thing that requires it is the package you are about to
uninstall, go ahead and uninstall it (you may want to do rpm -qi
DEPENDENCY first to make sure you know what it does before removing it).
