−−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.
−−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
