20              This can be useful if any package was installed as a  dependency
21              and  is  desired to stay on the system when remove command along
22              with clean_requirements_on_remove configuration  option  set  to

30              package. The package stays installed on the system, but will  be
31              removed when remove command along with clean_requirements_on_re‐
32              move configuration option set to True is executed.
33
34              You should use this  operation  instead  of  remove  command  if
35              you're  not  sure  whether the package is a requirement of other
36              user installed package on the system.

47              or  the  user  and  is  desired to be protected and handled as a
48              group member like during group remove command.
