Noticed that running package-cleanup --orphans It gives a list of packages that are not part of the current repos list rather than being just orphaned packages by Fedora..
Created a little script to get various counts. cat package-cleanup-check echo "list of all orphans count" package-cleanup --orphans |wc -l echo "list of orphans linked to .fc repos" package-cleanup --orphans | grep ".fc" |wc -l echo "list of orphans/non-fedora packages?" package-cleanup --orphans | grep -v ".fc" |wc -l
For me, it shows 284 on the regular run. Get 237 when I have it only include ones with ".fc" That then has 47 that are not Fedora packages. Of those 47, 43 are linked to libreoffice 7.3 that is installed from site for testing. These are the other 4 packages. msttcorefonts-0:2.5-1.noarch peazip-0:8.7.0.LINUX.GTK2-1.x86_64 uni2ascii-0:4.18-3.1.x86_64 viber-0:13.3.1.22-2.x86_64
Not sure why it lists packages from non-Fedora repos as orphans? Don't know if the ".fc" filter is best option..
Just interesting. Don't know if these means I should remove the 237 orphans. Only see the aespipe one as something I know I use??
Thanks.
Output from my little script.

The docs here

Say it works on configured repos. It does not restrict itself to any subset, like fedora repos.

Thanks for info. Guess it does check for packages from the repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/, but things like google are not orphaned. So, it shows packages that are not in the current fedora35 repos that were installed from previous ones, and also does anything that was not installe from one of those repos.
In my case, only have the libreoffice 7.3 and 4 other packages that were installed from rpm files directly.
Will have to look at the 237 packages and see if they serve any purpose.
Is there someplace that explains why things like aespipe have been orphaned and why?
