[arch-general] pacman: List not required and not opt-required.
Pacman now warns when trying to uninstall a package that is an optdepend for another, however, I was wondering if we could take this a step further, and have a flag to list "packages that are not mandatory OR optional dependencies for other packages". A typical usage is: pacman -Rnsu $(pacman -Qdtq) This uninstalls any leftover dependencies, INCLUDING optional dependencies. I'd love to exclude these, but there's no programatical way to obtain a list of packages that are "installed as dependencies and not mandatory or optional dependencies for other". Are there any plans to add such a flag? Maybe "-tt"? Is there any interest in this on behalf of anyone else? -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right.

[arch-general] ircii-current.tar.gz in aur
The package fails since one or more files fails validity checks with md5s. I have irssi working over here but was asked to install ircii and picked this version to install and the package failed validity checks twice. I tried the download twice using yaourt -S ircii-current since I wasn't sure if it was a network transmission problem but this one appears to be a defective files problem. jude Twitter: @jdashiel
