¡Hola!

¿Cómo se eliminan los paquetes huérfanos? ¿Existe un equivalente a apt-get autoremove?

¡Gracias!

Hello!

How delete the orphan packages? It exists an equivalent to apt-get autoremove?

Thanks!

How would the PC know what packages are not needed anymore?

When you install a package, it is marked as "manually installed" and it's depedancies marked as "automatically installed".
If an "automatically installed" package is not used by any other package, it could be elected to remove.
This is the way Debian try to work out with this.

In Salix/Slackware, I don't think it's possible, as there is no difference between a package choosen to be installed by the user and a package installed by dependancy.

One would "just" need a database where this information is maintained locally, I guess that would be no problem on Slackware either.
But when I look at the time aptitude needs to initialize itself, I'm happier with slapt-get. apt-get is comparable fast but afaik it doesn't do that fancy dependency tracking and so on.
When I think about the Slackware way of doing it with no dependency, then our way with and the the Debian way, there are miles between. Such a feature would make us significantly different from Slackware and as I don't think it's something the Slackware user base could want, I'd judge it rather negative.

¡Hola!

No he acabado de entender bien las respuestas, porque tengo el inconveniente de no hablar inglés y los traductores automáticos todavía no son perfectos. Pero acabo de consultar la versión castellana de Slackware Essentials y descubrir que las gestión de dependencias no es automática sino labor del administrador. Bueno, ahora ya lo sé y lo tendré en cuenta cuando instale aplicaciones.

¡Saludos!

Hello!

I have not finished to understand well the answers, because I have the handicap of not speaking English and the automatic translators still are not perfect. But finish to consult the Spanish version of Slackware Essentials and discover that the management of dependencies is not automatic but labor of the administrator. Well, now already know it and will have it in account when it install applications.

Greetings!

Such a feature is totally not KISS for me and IMHO it's pure nonsense. Why would I care about some unneeded packages that are installed? They only need few MB on my many GB hard disc.

So we totally agree then. Maybe I didn't outline it sufficiently.

Code: Select all

 slackpkg clean-system

que se usa al fin

clean-system - Removes all of the packages that don't belong to a standard Slackware installation.

¿pero acaso eso no eliminaría los paquetes de salix que no son parte de la instalación de slackware?

but wouldn't that remove salix packages that aren't part of the slackware installation?

From the documentation, I'd say it would. But I'm new to Salix and Slackware,too.

Like the man from Spain, I was looking for the equivalent to Maybe someone is able to tell both of us if this is just an approximation that slapkg provides in the command or an equivalent. The uncertainty is the issue.
