SYNOPSIS

11       dnf leaves
12

DESCRIPTION

14       leaves  lists  all  the packages installed on your system which are not
15       required as a dependency of another installed package. However  two  or
16       more packages might depend on eachother in a dependency cycle. Packages
17       in such cycles, which are not required by any other package,  are  also
18       listed.

OPTIONS

21       All  general  DNF  options  are  accepted,  see  Options  in dnf(8) for
22       details.

WHY IS THIS USEFUL?

25       The list gives you a nice overview of what is installed on your  system
26       without  flooding  you  with  anything required by the packages already
27       shown.  The following list of arguments basically says the  same  thing
28       in different ways:
29
30       · All the packages on this list is either needed by you, other users of
31         the system or not needed at all -- if  it  was  required  by  another
32         installed package it would not be on the list.
33
34       · If  you want to uninstall anything from your system (without breaking
35         dependencies) it must involve at least one package on this list.
36
37       · If there is anything installed on the system which is not  needed  it
38         must  be  on  this list -- otherwise it would be required as a depen‐
39         dency by another package.
