Hey! How do I delete patches instead of just disabling them? Is the only way to search it from the Warehouse and choosing 'uninstall' below 'update'?

What, if I get the message "failed to remove patch" when trying to delete a patch in Patchmanager?

That's assuming that all patches have "sailfishos" in the name. Which they don't: just have a quick look at the list.

BTW pkcon in SFOS does not need devel-su. Weird but true. I did not know that myself until someone pointed that out.

True, all of the ones that I'm using have sailfishos in the package name, sorry for the confusion, just trying to help :). Didn't know about not needing the devel-su, thanks for pointing that out.

You can use this snippet to find every installed patch:

find /usr/share/patchmanager/patches -name unified_diff.patch -exec rpm --queryformat "%{NAME}\n" -qf {} \;

and to remove them all, you can use (haven't tested it, but should work) this instead:

find /usr/share/patchmanager/patches -name unified_diff.patch -exec rpm --queryformat "%{NAME}\n" -qf {} \; | xargs pkcon remove -y
