NAME
       urpm-package-cleanup - find and fix rpmdb problems

SYNOPSIS
       urpm-package-cleanup [options]

DESCRIPTION
       urpm-package-cleanup is a program for cleaning up the locally-installed
       RPMs.

       -h, --help

       -v, --version
	      Report program version and exit.

       --leaves
	      List leaf nodes in the local RPM database. Leaf nodes  are  RPMs
	      that are not relied upon by any other RPM.

       --orphans
	      List  installed  packages which are not available from currently
	      configured repositories. This  is	 identical  to	"urpmq	--not-
	      available".

       --oldkernels
	      Remove old kernel and kernel-devel packages.

       --problems
	      List dependency problems in the local RPM database.

       --dupes
	      Scan for duplicates in the local RPM database.

LEAVES OPTIONS
       --all  When  listing  leaf  nodes  also	list  leaf  nodes that are not
	      libraries.

       --leaf-regex
	      A package name that matches this regular expression will be con‐
	      sidered a leaf.

       --exclude-devel
	      When listing leaf nodes do not list development packages.

       --exclude-bin
	      When  listing  leaf nodes do not list packages with files in bin
	      directories.

OLDKERNELS OPTIONS
       --count <COUNT>
	      Number of kernel packages to keep on the system (default 2)

       --keepdevel
	      Do not remove kernel-devel packages when removing kernels

DUPLICATE PACKAGE OPTIONS
       --cleandupes
	      Scan for duplicates in the local RPM database and clean out  the
	      older versions.

       --noscripts
	      Disable rpm scriptlets from running when cleaning duplicates

DEPENDENCY PROBLEMS OPTIONS
       --suggests
	      List missing suggestions of installed packages

EXAMPLES
       List all dependency problems:
	      urpm-package-cleanup --problems

       List all packages that are not in any configured repository:
	      urpm-package-cleanup --orphans

       Remove  old  kernels  keeping  3	 and leaving old kernel-devel packages
       installed:
	      urpm-package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=3 --keepdevel

       List all leaf packages with no files in	a  bin	directory  whose  name
       begins with either 'perl' or 'python':
	      urpm-package-cleanup	--leaves     --exclude-bin     --leaf-
	      regex="^(perl)|(python)"

FILES
       For some actions urpm-package-cleanup invokes urpmi and relies  on  its
       configuration file:

       /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg

EXIT CODES
       0      Completed successfully

       1      Script  execution error (wrong option, insufficient permissions,
	      etc.)

       2      Unsatisfied dependencies detected

       3      Unsatisfied soft dependencies detected

       100    Illegal option value
