<PRE>Le 06/01/2012 17:55, Colin Guthrie a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> 'Twas brillig, and Robert Fox at 06/01/12 10:16 did gyre and gimble:
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> After latest Cauldron updates, I got a real long list of suggested
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &quot;orphans&quot; - but I believe some of these packages are needed (like hal or
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> basesystem-minimal) -
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> How do I clear out the orphans - like reset the logic behind it so the
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> correct packages will be orphaned?  Or is a fresh install in order??
</I>&gt;<i> FWIW, as I see some people not liking this feature, personally I don't
</I>&gt;<i> use --auto-orphans, but instead use &quot;urpmq --not-available&quot; to find
</I>&gt;<i> packages I have installed that are no longer provided by the
</I>&gt;<i> repositories. This will typically include old and unneeded library
</I>&gt;<i> majors etc. that accumulate after a while.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> This list is much clearer in what it actually outputs and is basically
</I>&gt;<i> the same as the yum orphan list command (I forget what the command
</I>&gt;<i> actually is, but it's what inspired me to write the first version which
</I>&gt;<i> in turn was vastly improved by a native implementation by (IIRC) Pascal
</I>&gt;<i> Terjan :))
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Col
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>The problem is not 'I like it'/'I don't like it', the problem is that 
this feature caused sometimes the loss of very important packages making 
the system unusable and leading to a necessary reinstallation.
