I whipped out a little "find-roots" perl script to do the job: #!/usr/bin/perl -w # # Long running script to find all the deps of all the packages # then find all the installed rpms that are not deps of anything. # use strict; my %rpms; my $fh; # This is the bit that takes forever to run, and it also (apparently) # describes every package in every repo that might provide a dependency, # so the list this generates is about 10 times larger than the actual # installed base. open($fh, '-|', 'yum', 'deplist', '*'); while (<$fh>) { if (/^\s*provider:\s*(\S+)\s*\S+\s*$/) { $rpms{$1} = 1; } } close($fh); undef($fh); # Getting the list of actual installed rpms is much less time consuming. my %installed; open($fh, '-|', 'rpm', '-q', '--qf', '%{NAME}.%{ARCH}\n', '-a'); while (<$fh>) { chomp; $installed{$_} = 1; } close($fh); undef($fh); # Now we print all the rpms that are installed, but which do not show # up as a provider of any dependency. foreach $_ (sort(keys(%installed))) { if (! exists($rpms{$_})) { print "$_\n"; } } -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
