What is definition of "un-need packages" according to pacman?

General system Pacman

From https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks ,

1.7 Detecting more unneeded packages

In some cases the method above will not detect all possible unneeded packages. E.g. dependency cycles (also known as “circular dependencies”), excessive dependencies (fullfilled more than once), some unexplicit optionals etc.

To detect such packages:

$ pacman -Qqd | pacman -Rsu --print -

If you want to remove all packages in the list at once, run the command without --print argument.

When I run this I get a rather large list. I know haskell files can go cause I removed helix which required them. Others are questionable.

For better readability, could you edit your post and format the posted terminal output?

Note that removing packages packages carelessly may cause more issues than not removing.
I’d even recommend not to remove a package unless

  • it causes a concrete problem
  • disk is almost full and you need more space (but cleaning package cache may help too)
  • you know for a fact it is no more needed by any other package

An unneeded package (colloquially known as “orphan”) is a package that has been installed as a dependency for another package, but currently nothing depends on it.

An unneeded package should either be marked explicitly installed, if it is actually needed, or removed.

There are only two downsides to keeping keeping a lot of unnecessary packages installed: it makes your updates bigger (thus taking longer and using more bandwidth), and it causes unnecessary traffic for the mirror servers.

That’s what pacman tells you when it lists a package as an “orphan”. You can trust it. While removing a package will, obviously, remove all functionality that this package provides, it should not remove anything vital needed by any other packages, assuming the dependency tree is correct. In other words, you should not be able to break essential functionality by removing “orphans”. If such a package becomes again a dependency in the future, it will be automatically installed.

Sometimes you don’t know if a package can be safely removed or not. That’s because the package might have been incorrectly marked as a dependency or explicit.
That’s happened to me recently in a rather old install that had experienced several installs and uninstalls, at times with the same packages.

Then I used pacman to show which packages could be removed. I tried to be careful, but still I removed some packages that were needed in kaffeine to produce audio.

Fortunately I had the original list if packages that I knew to work with kaffeine and got the audio back.

Probably those reinstalls made just enough of the packages lose the correct explicit or dependency markings, making it mostly a user error. Anyway, I feel that kind of user error is a bit too easy to do…

pacman -Qdtq | pacman -Rns -
This did the trick. I should have used it from the start.

Unneeded packages as defined above, are different than what we typically call orphans. They are packages that are not “required dependencies” as opposed to “dependencies”. I don’t think removing them on a routine basis would be desirable for most users.

12

Optional dependencies should be (and typically are) marked as explicitly installed, so they will not be listed among unneeded packages.

Therefore, a command like yay -Yc or paru -c will not remove them.

For example, when upgrading from Plasma 5 to Plasma 6, a bunch of packages (several dozens) became unneeded. Keeping them around would be utterly pointless, adding hundreds of megabytes to future updates. It’s entirely safe to remove them all. If something is removed, and later regretted, it can easily be reinstalled manually.

Yes, but that’s your fault… I’m guessing you messed up when you installed a bunch of packages from a list you saved from a previous install. So some packages that should have been listed as explicitly installed weren’t, and they got removed when you cleaned your orphans. How do I know that? I’ve done it, too. :rofl:

If you don’t know what you’re doing, you shouldn’t be saving your package list and blindly recreating it on another system. Instead, on a new, freshly installed system it is far better to only install the software you need, and not a moment sooner than when you actually need it.

13

They should not be marked as explicitly installed. Then they won’t get removed on their when they become orphans(because they never will be orphans). When you pull a list of orphans, optional dependencies are not included in that list.

paru -c will not remove optional dependencies.

After running paru -c, the command above finds many additional packages.

14

Perhaps we are misunderstanding each other. All I’m saying is that running paru -c or yay -Yc is always safe, it will never remove something critical. I’ve been doing that since I started using an Arch-based distro.

That should be one’s preferred way of removing unneeded packages, and users will benefit from doing it routinely after every large upgrade or after removing packages with a bunch of dependencies, because that will make their future updates significantly smaller, and thus faster and not wasting server traffic. And, as @keybreak pointed out, a smaller number of installed packages reduces the number of attack vectors, increasing the overall security of the system.

15

Right. However, my point is that is something totally different than what is in the initial post. That post is talking about pacman’s --unneeded option which is different than what we typically call orphans and what paru -c removes.

I m still trying to wrap my head around what what that command implies. I understand circular dependencies, but "excessive dependencies (fullfilled more than once), or unexplicit optionals is confusing as I ve never had to worry about such things.

That flag alone implies any package that isn’t a required dependency of another package. Including packages that are explicitly installed.

I think this means a package requires package “abc”. But two or more packages on your system provide “abc”. Technically, only one of those two packages is actually required.

Frankly, I have never found a practical use for that flag.

Ah. I see now what fulfilled more than once is talking about. I guess if one was so anal that no copies of any file were allowed on there system then that command would be very useful, but having a second copy of a file has saved my bacon more than once.

I don’t think it is a second copy of a file.

For example, the kernel requires something called initcpio. Both mkinitcpio and dracut provide that. If you had both of them installed, only one of them is actually needed. However, neither of them would be orphans since they are dependencies of other packages.

I tried both yay -Yc and paru -c (without completing them).
Interestingly yay wanted to remove 2 more packages, otherwise the removal list was the same.
None of the packages were from AUR.
