Hello,
If you repeat the update of installed Cygwin packages for a while,
it's quite possible that there are some packages that were installed
as dependency but are no longer required by any others.
Then is there any way to detect and uninstall such ones?
I expect such way as `apt autoremove` of Debian or `dnf autoremove` of
Fedora.
Best Regards.

as currently we are not tracking between choosen packages
and installed by dependency, Cygwin is lacking such capabilities
the most likely candidates for removal are the different version
of the same libraries
$ cygcheck -cd | grep "^lib" | tee lib.txt
in my case I see
libvpx1 1.3.0-2
libvpx3 1.5.0-1
libvpx4 1.6.1-1
libvpx5 1.7.0-1
$ cygcheck-dep -q -n libvpx1 libvpx3 libvpx4 libvpx5
libvpx1: is needed for ( )
libvpx3: is needed for ( )
libvpx4: is needed for ( )
libvpx5: is needed for ( gstreamer1.0-plugins-good libvpx-devel )
