This would also remove packages installed from third-party vendors, there are still some proprietary RPM packages out there. There is also this command: urpmi_rpm-find-leaves -g It finds unused library packages, or actually unused packages in the System/Libraries group. But there are quite a few false-positive results, because of packages incorrectly using System/Libraries as group. -- Olivier Blin - blino
