Description Rahul Sundaram 2013-05-15 17:28:10 UTC
Description of problem:

yum has a undocumented autoremove feature that functions similar to apt-get autoremove which removes any package that has been installed only as a dependency (yumdb stores that info) and of course, I would prefer if dnf actually documents the option when it is added :-)

Is this ok [y/N]:

Comment 1 Ales Kozumplik 2013-05-16 05:38:29 UTC
'autoremove' in yum works by looking at the leaf rpmdb packages and intersecting this set with packages marked in yumdb with reason 'dep'. DNF keeps the same information for packages installed through DNF). Note however that DNF by itself will not leave any leaf packages behind as long as the clean_requirements_on_remove config option is True.

Giving this low priority.

Comment 2 Michael Schröder 2013-05-28 14:20:38 UTC
(FYI: libsolv has a solver_get_unneeded() function that returns a set of "unneeded" packages)

Comment 3 Ales Kozumplik 2013-05-28 15:36:28 UTC

sweet!!

Comment 4 Pavel Lisý 2014-01-17 13:39:12 UTC
I have problem with actual upgrade. 
My question is if this enhancement can resolve it or I need create new bug report.

DNF update fails because it doesn't do automatic remove of obsolete package

# dnf update

dnf doesn't know that it can / has to remove obsolete package
kmod-nvidia-3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64

Comment 5 Jan Zeleny 2014-01-17 14:02:56 UTC
This more likely seems like the well documented issue with updates:

http://dnf.baseurl.org/2014/01/02/dnf-update-and-yum-update-produce-different-output/

Have you synced your metadata?

Comment 6 Pavel Lisý 2014-01-17 18:43:46 UTC
I did this:
dnf clean all
dnf update

with the same result

I don't thik this is problem with obsolete metadata. 

Explanation:
dnf is trying to remove old kernel but forgets to remove old kmod-nvidia-3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64

Comment 7 Ales Kozumplik 2014-01-20 09:06:32 UTC
Pavel, you are being hit by bug 1033881. Not related to autoremove.

Comment 8 Pavel Lisý 2014-01-20 12:35:34 UTC
Thanks for info

Comment 9 Ales Kozumplik 2014-05-03 13:50:31 UTC
Implemented upstream with 8cfef27.

Comment 10 Ales Kozumplik 2014-05-03 13:51:52 UTC
In the end this is not a plugin (it handles the Goal object in a special way that is currently not possible through the exposed API)
