pamac: Remove a package and its no longer required dependencies (orphans).
$ pamac remove --orphans ${package_name}
try on your machine
The command "pamac remove --orphans ${package_name}" is used to remove orphaned packages from a Linux system using the package manager called pamac. Here's an explanation of each component of the command:
- "pamac": It is the package manager utility used to manage packages in Arch-based Linux distributions like Manjaro.
- "remove": It is the action keyword that specifies the intention to remove packages.
- "--orphans": It is an option flag that tells pamac to remove orphaned packages. Orphaned packages are the ones that were installed as dependencies but are no longer required by any other packages on the system.
- "${package_name}": It is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the name of the specific package you want to remove.
By executing this command with the appropriate package name, you can ensure that any orphaned package with that name is removed from your system.
