package-cleanup(1)                                        package-cleanup(1)
       package-cleanup  - clean up locally installed, duplicate, or orphaned
       packages
       package-cleanup [options] <item ...>
       package-cleanup is a program for cleaning up the locally-installed
       RPMs.
       -c <config file>
              Use alternative config file (default is /etc/yum.conf).
       -h, --help
              Help; display a help message and then quit.
       -q, --quiet
              Print out nothing unnecessary.
       -v, --version
              Report program version and exit.
       -y     Agree to anything asked.
       --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 "yum list
              extras", which may provide better output.
       --oldkernels
              Remove old kernel and kernel-devel packages.
       --problems
              List dependency problems in the local RPM database. If any
              problems are found it will exit with an exit code of 1.
       --dupes
              Scan for duplicates in the local RPM database.
       --cleandupes
              Scan for duplicates in the local RPM database and clean out
              the older versions.
       --removenewestdupes
              Remove the newest dupes instead of the oldest dupes when
              cleaning duplicates.
       --noscripts
              Disable rpm scriptlets from running when cleaning duplicates.
       --count <COUNT>
              Number of duplicate/kernel packages to keep on the system
              (default 2)
       --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
              considered 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.
       --keepdevel
              Do not remove kernel-devel packages when removing kernels
       List all dependency problems:
              package-cleanup --problems
       List all packages that are not in any Yum repository:
              package-cleanup --orphans
       Remove old kernels keeping 3 and leaving old kernel-devel packages
       installed:
              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':
              package-cleanup --leaves --exclude-bin
              --leaf-regex="^(perl)|(python)"
       As package-cleanup uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the
       information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values
       like which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for
       details:
       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/
       yum.conf(5)
       http://yum.baseurl.org/

       There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should
       first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and
       if unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list:
       yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug use
       http://bugzilla.redhat.com for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and
       http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
