1 Hi,
2 I'm sure that this issue has already been discussed here, but I can't
3 find any such discussions.
4 Anyway, is there an easy way to find orphan packages, i.e. installed
5 packages that don't have repository behind? For example, if I used to
6 have a layman overlay and now I deleted it, all the packages that
7 belonged to that overlay are now orphans. I would like at least to get a
8 list of those packages.
