Yaourt: orphans not deleted?

I just noticed an unexpected (at least for me) behavior of yaourt. I wanted to clean my system from orphans:



yaourt -Qtd


Which should query for orphans and ask for deletion according to man yaourt:



-t, --unrequired
 Filter output to packages not required by any currently installed package.
 With -d, yaourt list all real orphans and ask for deletion.


However, after a normally unnecessary checkup with yaourt -Syyu --aur I got this message:



:: Synchronizing package databases...

 qtemu : Orphan 
 Foreign packages: 27 / 27


Why does yaourt -Syyu --aur tells me that qtemu is an orphan when I have deleted orphans via yaourt -Qtd before?



Additionally, I did not notice the Foreign packages information before. What is this about? After checking dependencies with yaourt -Qs --depends qtemu in order to ensure it can be safely deleted, I did yaourt -Rns qtemu to get rid of it.



After deleting qtemu yaourt now tells me Foreign packages: - 26 / 26, thus qtemu was one of these "foreign packages"?

    The package was likely dropped from the Manjaro repos to the AUR (as it was in Arch), thus moving it into the "foreign" category, and presumably also orphaning it from whatever official package it was a depends of.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I know how I need to configure any linux guestvm in order to make qemu-guest-agent work.
