Autoremove and clean equivalents on Slitaz 4

Are there equivalents to Debian's autoremove and clean commands on Slitaz 4? I have noticed that when you remove a package the system removes only the main package and leaves behind all dependencies.

tazpkg clean-cache or tazpkg -cc

We don't have an auto-remove function for orphaned packages yet...

Thank you very much for your prompt response. I'm really impressed by new Slitaz - the fastest distro I've ever tried and I have tried many.

Re: Autoremove and clean equivalents on Slitaz 4

asiwiec seems to have asked for a dependency-removal. tazpkg clean-cache just deletes the downloaded packages from the package cache.

I made a suggestion for a removal patch for tazpkg in the forum as well as in the community and (lately) in the mailing list, but to no avail.

Up to now I don't see any removal tool (though I am using my patch, of course).

If you want to have a look at the patch, see
