Hi misc@ readers, Marc, Interactive removal of a package with pkg_delete $pkg_name also asks the removal of dependent packages (cool).
This works OK and logs the removal of the package $pkg_name in messages at the end of the procedure. But does not seem to log the removal of the packages that also depend on the removed bits (and got removed). I may be looking at the wrong place or something, but expected this to be the same place. Would it be a good idea to also log removal of the dependent packages while removing a package, for the sake of operator awareness? P.S. Running pkg_delete -a manually afterwards logs fine removed packages (fallout) just fine. The removed dependants of $pkg_name however are not logged in messages log. The result is, some details are missed in the messages, while others comparative details are there. I'm asking because a python 2.7 upgrade from packages fails on a i386 older machine here, and have to remove it to upgrade my packages. I really don't care much about the python bit, just asking for the logging case as explained above. Please ignore if this is superfluous noise, or wastes precious time. Regards, Anton
