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..
The docs here
https://jsmith.fedorapeople.org/drafts/SMG/html/Software_Management_Gui
de/ch07s03.html
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?
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.
