Plasma 6 update - system cleanup?

[GjMan78]

I have successfully updated plasma and was checking for any packages to uninstall and found these

Is it safe to remove them or is it better to leave them?

❯ pacman -Q | awk '{print $1}' | grep -E '^k' | grep -E '5$'

kauth5
kbookmarks5
kcodecs5
kcompletion5

pacman -Qdtq will produce a list of packages that are neither direct dependencies nor optional dependencies for any other packages in your system.

See here for reference to man pacman:

Post Plasma6 cleanup

I did a bit of rtfm-ing -d, --deps Restrict or filter output to packages installed as dependencies. This option can be combined with -t for listing real orphans - packages that were installed as dependencies but are no longer required by any installed package. -t, --unrequired Restrict or filter output to print only packages neither required nor optionally required by any currently installed package. Specify this option twice to include packages which are optionally, but not dire…

pacman -Qdtq

I know this.

What I would like to know is if it is correct to have double packages such as kwallet,kwayland, knotifications etc. which is installed with both version 5 and 6

❯ pacman -Q | grep kwallet
kwallet 6.0.0-3
kwallet-pam 6.0.1-1
kwallet5 5.115.0-2
signon-kwallet-extension 24.02.0-1

❯ pacman -Q | grep kwayland
kwayland 6.0.1-1
kwayland-integration 6.0.1-1
kwayland5 5.115.0-1

❯ pacman -Q | grep knotifications
knotifications 6.0.0-1
knotifications5 5.115.0-1

I shouldn’t think so, if they are neither required as dependency or optionally required by any other package in your system.

@pebcak

pacman -Qdtq

I know this.

So run it and see if the 5 versions of the packages will show up.

[GjMan78]

I already removed the orphaned packages yesterday after upgrading to Plasma 6

❯ pacman -Qdtq
webrtc-audio-processing

[pebcak]

Then I would check with pactree -r X to see if I have anything in my system depending on X.

There are still packages in repos depending on 5 versions of some of kde plasma packages.

You may have some of them installed.

[GjMan78]

Yep!!

Thanks, you were right they cannot be removed, at least for the moment.

Why do you have calamares installed? Perhaps removing that would eliminate some of your dependency of frameworks 5

[GjMan78]

Good question.
I assume it was installed when I tried penguin-eggs and I didn’t remove it after uninstalling.

Thanks for noticing!
