Hi!
We’ve upgraded some SLES servers from 9.x to 10.x and over to 11.x. And I suspect that there is a lot of orphan packages laying around.
I know that with SLES 12 there’s a option in zypper for it. Does something like that exist in SLES 11?
And by orphan, I mean packages installed that are not in any of the current repositories. Packages that existed in 9 does not always exist in 11.

Hello Christer,
try
zypper se -s | grep “System Pa”
to get an overview.
Franz.
What am I looking for? I get a bunch of packages with that command, like the kernel.

If the last column of the output contains “(System Package)” (might be
plural) then that indicates the package was not installed from a
currently configured repository suggesting it has come from elsewhere.
Perhaps you could post the output here.
