sometimes i want remove a package, like totem or evolution, but, when i make

upkg-remove totem

by example, appear:

[root@virgin:/]# upkg-remove totem
Generating script...
ERROR: Package 'totem' not found in list of selected packages.
Could not generate script!


how find correct name of package?, cause in www.paldo.org packages appear this like "totem"....

thanks

The package name is correct, that's not the problem. The quoted error message means that totem hasn't been installed explicitly but implicitly as a dependency of another package. You usually can't remove packages that are required by other packages. You can override the dependency checks with the --force flag but it will be restored on the next upgrade.

thanks juergbi, i will wait

to remove totem these packages shouldn't be installed:

Hello,

My question is of the same nature.

I installed Xfce but decided I didn't want to use it. I have done
upkg-remove xfce-desktop
but when i do
upkg-upgrade
upkg says it is going to install lots of Xfce applications. How do I remove all packages referencing Xfce?

Thanks!

Check the list of packages you've selected:

ls /var/lib/upkg/packages/*.select
