rpmorphan finds "orphaned" RPM packages on your system (packages which have no other packages depending on their installation). Console and graphical interfaces are provided. It is clone of the deborphan Debian program, but for RPM packages. It provides also some others RPM tools: rpmusage, rpmdep, and rpmduplicates.

Recent releases


Release Notes: In GUI mode, a new hotkey was added to display the package summary in a popup. In Curses mode, the menu length was reduced to be less than 72 characters. A bug that prevented the Curses module from loading was fixed. The code was cleaned: some duplicated code between rpmorphan and rpmusage was removed.


Release Notes: The rpmextra tool was added, which lists the packages installed on the system that are not available in any repository. The grpmorphan script was added, which is a shortcut for rpmorphan -gui.


Release Notes: A bug was fixed with the rpmdep tool for Mandriva users. The help in the GUI can now be translated: English and French text are available.


Release Notes: The RPM dependency on Curses was removed as it is only optional. A "reload" button was added to the Tk and Curses graphical interfaces.


Release Notes: The curses window size is now variable to use the full available size. The code was split into core code and GUI code (rpmorphan-curses-lib.pl and rpmorphan-tk-lib.pl). A confirmation dialog box was added for the remove action. The info window is now scrollable.
