No it does not remove the package dependencies.rsal wrote:Does Gslapt tries to do this?
Well this is the opposite of what you asked. When your remove a package with Gslapt or slapt-get, it will also try to remove all the installed packages that depend on it.

Package Description:
vlc - a multimedia player
VLC (initially VideoLAN Client) is a highly portable multimedia player
for various A/V formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg,...)
as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be
used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on
a high-bandwidth network.
Package ChangeLog:
Added. Upgraded from 14.0.
Package Installed: no
This is very unlikely to be a problem. If there is that little space in your / partition, you should probably have a clearout of things that take up a lot more room than they do.This may lead to accumulation of many unused libraries in the long run.
No. But you might like twapake (it's in Salix repos).Is there any application that can identify unused libraries/packages on SalixOS system?
Code: Select all
sudo twapake -uSuch a functionality is the only thing I am missing from my old apt-get based distros. But don't forget Salix is Slackware-based, and Slackware itself completely ignores dependency checking, assuming everything is installed - you need it or not. At least Salix offers that "one-way" dependency checking.rsal wrote:It seems that Gslapt/slapt-get are performing only "one-way dependency check".
