It just shows the dep chain, not a reason or warning. I am saying it |
| 16 |
just needs a warning. A reason why it did not remove. When not using |
| 17 |
versbose/-v |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Warning like |
| 20 |
"Not removing package A as it is a dependency of another package" |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
This just shows the dep chain, no reason why. Its left to the user to |
| 23 |
interpret, since not removed. Its needed by other stuff. But that is |
| 24 |
not said explicitly. |

This is worse and just needs a message, warning, as to why it was not |
| 47 |
removed. |

Either way, as I stated, if using -C, you get warnings with profiles |
| 62 |
and sets, but not with deps. Deps should have a warning as well. |
