Summary and Info: It seems that searching for orphans no longer works as it used to with pacman 3.0. No matter which options I use I get a huge list of packages and not the real orphans (unless you've changed again the definition of orphan since 3.0). I've tried -Qe, -Qt and -Qet, but none give me what I expect.


Steps to Reproduce: pacman -Qet
This task depends upon

man pacman

-d, --deps
List all packages installed as
dependencies. This option can be combined
with -t for listing real orphans- packages
that were installed as dependencies but are
no longer required by any installed
package. (-Qdt is equivalent to the pacman
3.0.X -Qe option.)

Ah yes, you are right. I thought Qet was the equivalente, but now I read it better and it says it's -Qet is the equivalent or -Qe in 2.9.x...

Thanks. I'll request closure of this report.
