Description Flags
python script to find packages with no depends none

Description Phillip Sorensen 2006-03-22 19:55:22 UTC 
Description of problem:

I have a little python script that I use to find the packages that have no other
packages depending on them.  This allows me to remove unwanted packages and
their dependencies.  Using this this with a number of different installs, I have
found that not all the dependencies are being installed.  

After installing the needed package to resolve the problem, an rpm -e shows that
 the new package is indeed dependent on another package.

Ones I have seem so far:

The default install needed binutils, gettext, and gstreamer-tools to be
installed for all dependencies to be met.

An install with all boxes unchecked (pseudo-minimal) needed ghostscript-fonts.

Another customized install with redhat-lsb selected in the installer needed over
30 packages when I removed and reinstalled with yum


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora Core 5 released DVD / network install tree


How reproducible:

always, but different packages needed for different installs


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do an install
2. run 'python depys.py' script I attached
  
Actual results:

script fails until dependencies are met

Expected results:

A list of packages with no packages that depend on them

Comment 2 Paul Nasrat 2006-03-22 20:19:03 UTC 
There is already a script in yum-utils to do this:

package-cleanup --leaves you might want to check that out.

It is probable that the deps are deliberately cut due to whiteout.
Comment 3 Phillip Sorensen 2006-03-22 21:34:55 UTC 
I tried package-cleanup --problems on a fresh default install.  It came up with
the same results as my script (binutils, openjade, gstreamer-tools).

What's the status of this in F7?  Lots of stuff has changed on the anaconda side
of things, comps, and package deps themselves.
Comment 5 Phillip Sorensen 2007-03-02 21:11:25 UTC 
I just did a default install of Fedora 7 test 2. Both my script and the
package-cleanup utility ran without error.  The bug appears to be fixed.
