title: How to remove texlive with Pacman
body: <p>I installed texlive with Pacman in Archlinux. I want to remove all the installed packages now because I found them too big and a website called overleaf can meet most of my needs.</p>
  
  <p>But there are too many packages contained in texlive, listed as below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>texinfo  texlive-formatsextra  texlive-latexextra  texlive-publishers
  texlive-bibtexextra  texlive-games  texlive-music  texlive-science     
  texlive-bin  texlive-genericextra  texlive-pictures  
  texlive-core  texlive-htmlxml  texlive-plainextra 
  texlive-fontsextra  texlive-humanities  texlive-pstricks
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried <code>sudo pacman -R texinfo</code>, and change different parameters like <code>-Rd</code>, <code>-Rsn</code>. They all failed on dependency checking.</p>
  
  <p>I tried <code>sudo pacman -Rc texinfo</code> but it tells me the next 7 packages will be removed, even including gdb!!!</p>
  
  <pre><code>drkonqi-5.9.5.1-1  gdb-7.12.1-3  gdb-common-7.12.1-3  guile-2.2.1-1
  guile2.0-2.0.14-1  make-4.2.1-2  texinfo-6.3-1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So how to remove the texlive family nicely?</p>
