Hi-

I cleaned things up a bit. Now when I use dnf remove package, I get the other packages listed like in tidy and libtidy. I think the problem might be that my updates got interrupted once. I went through and deleted each package listed in package-cleanup --leaves.

Now my question is it is telling me package-cleanup is a yum command and I am trying to figure out if there is an exact replacement and how to install it with dnf that yields the same results as package-cleanup?

Please assist if you know what I am referring to. <see below>

thx- jim


Complete!
[root@new-host-9 ~]# package-cleanup --leaves

Yum-utils package has been deprecated, use dnf instead.
See 'man yum2dnf' for more information.


[root@new-host-9 ~]# dnf remove tidy

No such command: package-cleanup. Please use /bin/dnf --help
It could be a DNF plugin command, try: "dnf install 'dnf-command(package-cleanup)'"

hi-

the package manager recognizes that libtidy also needs to be removed. I'd still like to know if and how to install the replacement for package-cleanup --leaves for dnf. If you know, and can help me get it installed that is very cool. However, for now, I am very happy my package manager is working again.

thx. again, jim

Hi-

A quick note, I tried yumex and it didn't know to remove libtidy. I am not certain why dnf knows and yumex doesn't. I can use dnf though for now.

thx.

Hi Tim-

The command yielded this:

[root@new-host-9 ~]# dnf repoquery --unneeded

I might be missing a package?

thx.

Yes, it does need that package. It's not a perfect solution, but if you remove a program and aren't sure everything it installed with it was removed, it'll work.

Also, you can check dnf list autoremove to see if anything is listed there, as that will tell you what dnf autoremove would remove without actually calling autoremove.

Hi Tim-


[root@new-host-9 ~]# dnf repoquery --unneeded

Error: unrecognized arguments: --unneeded

?

hi-

just a quick thought, maybe i need to have python3-dnf-plugins-core etc. instead of python-dnf-plugins-core ...

thx

HI Tim-

Maybe I need fedora 23 to run that command dnf repoquery --unneeded? I am using fedora 22.
I will update fedora 23 and try to rerun the command after the update. Maybe I will update tonight.

It didn't matter regarding python3-dnf...

thx. - jim

Maybe, I THOUGHT they didn't add any new plugins to dnf with 23, but it's possible they did, I only half pay attention.

Hi Tim-

Hey - whatever magic that happened with the fedora 23 install lets me use dnf repoquery --unneeded to replace package-cleanup --leaves.

thx for telling me about this new command.

I am switching to dnf at the command-line. yumex on my system can't do that.

Everything seems to work except I have to reinstall my fancy mu or mu4e email system. It should be easy because i have the config files for emac and offlineimap.
