# Create the directory where data for BACKUP=ZYPPER gets stored

# Determine which of the installed RPM packages
# are not required by other installed RPM packages.
# Those independently installed RPM packages are those that
# either are intentionally installed by the admin
# or got unintentionally installed via recommended by other RPMs
# or are no longer required (orphans) after other RPMs had been removed:

    # The only reliably working way how to find out if an installed RPM package
    # is needed by another installed RPM package is to test if it can be erased.
    # In particular regarding "rpm -q --whatrequires" versus "rpm -e --test" see
    # https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-de/2011-11/msg00076.html
    # that reads (excerpt):
    # "rpm -q --whatrequires <something>" does not show all package dependencies because
    # this shows only the dependencies regarding the exact RPM capability <something>.
    # Only "rpm -e --test <package>" shows you all other packages which depend on package.
