TIP: Finding Packages Not Belonging to an Active Repository
To list all packages that do not belong to an active repository, choose View >
Repositories > @System and then choose Secondary Filter > Unmaintained
Packages. This is useful, for example, if you have deleted a repository and
would like to make sure no packages from that repository remain installed.
3.2.2 Installing and Removing Packages or
Patterns
Certain packages are dependent on other packages, such as shared libraries. On the
other hand, some packages cannot coexist with others on the system. If possible, YaST
automatically resolves these dependencies or conicts. If your choice results in a depen-
dency conict that cannot be automatically solved, you need to solve it manually as
described in Section 3.2.4, “Checking Software Dependencies” (page 68).
NOTE: Removal of Packages
When removing any packages, by default YaST only removes the selected
packages. If you want YaST to also remove any other packages that become
unneeded after removal of the specied package, select Options > Cleanup
when deleting packages.
