package-cleanup - clean up locally installed, duplicate, or
orphaned packages
package-cleanup [options] <item ...>
package-cleanup is a program for cleaning up the locally-
installed RPMs.
-c <config file>
Use alternative config file (default is /etc/yum.conf).
-h, --help
Help; display a help message and then quit.
-q, --quiet
Print out nothing unnecessary.
-v, --version
Report program version and exit.
-y Agree to anything asked.
--leaves
List leaf nodes in the local RPM database. Leaf nodes are
RPMs that are not relied upon by any other RPM.
--orphans
List installed packages which are not available from
currently configured repositories. This is identical to
"yum list extras", which may provide better output.
--oldkernels
Remove old kernel and kernel-devel packages.
--problems
List dependency problems in the local RPM database. If any
problems are found it will exit with an exit code of 1.
--dupes
Scan for duplicates in the local RPM database.
--cleandupes
Scan for duplicates in the local RPM database and clean
out the older versions.
--removenewestdupes
Remove the newest dupes instead of the oldest dupes when
cleaning duplicates.
--noscripts
Disable rpm scriptlets from running when cleaning
duplicates.
--count <COUNT>
Number of duplicate/kernel packages to keep on the system
(default 2)
--all When listing leaf nodes also list leaf nodes that are not
libraries.
--leaf-regex
A package name that matches this regular expression will
be considered a leaf.
--exclude-devel
When listing leaf nodes do not list development packages.
--exclude-bin
When listing leaf nodes do not list packages with files in
bin directories.
--keepdevel
Do not remove kernel-devel packages when removing kernels
List all dependency problems:
package-cleanup --problems
List all packages that are not in any Yum repository:
package-cleanup --orphans
Remove old kernels keeping 3 and leaving old kernel-devel
packages installed:
package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=3 --keepdevel
List all leaf packages with no files in a bin directory whose
name begins with either 'perl' or 'python':
package-cleanup --leaves --exclude-bin
--leaf-regex="^(perl)|(python)"
As package-cleanup uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the
information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default
values like which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation
for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
yum.conf(5)
http://yum.baseurl.org/
See the Authors file included with this program.
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should
first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq
and if unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing
list: [email protected]. To file a bug use
http://bugzilla.redhat.com for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs
and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
