DetailsDescription:
On a system with both Gnome and XFCE installed, uninstalling Gnome (# pacman -Rsc gnome) also removes the package xfce4-settings. This breaks the XFCE installation (removing key menu entries, icons, etc) until the package is manually reinstalled. Forum thread on the topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=949280 Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Gnome and XFCE. 2. Uninstall Gnome. 3. Try to use XFCE. |
This task depends upon
-c, --cascade
Remove all target packages, as well as all packages that depend on one or more target packages. This operation is recursive, and must be used with care since it can remove many potentially needed packages.
-s, --recursive
Remove each target specified including all of their dependencies, provided that (A) they are not required by other packages; and (B) they were not explicitly installed by the user. This operation is recursive and analogous to a backwards --sync operation, and helps keep a clean system without orphans. If you want to omit condition (B), pass this option twice.
