+&gt;<i> It is not exactly the same thing, but in more than one occasion when I installed packages
+</I>&gt;<i> with similar functions at the same time, to compare them, say A, B, and C, and later
+</I>&gt;<i> uninstalled B and C, I have found A to be declared an orphan. Only to find that it had
+</I>&gt;<i> been required by one of the others.
+</I>&gt;<i> (I often prefer command-line packages. It is simple to add them to the menu if I want.
+</I>&gt;<i> And I have often enough made such comparisons. To be fair, I haven't done much of that
+</I>&gt;<i> since installing Mageia, when it first became available.)
+</I>So what you say is:
+
+urpmi A
+urpmi B
+urpmi C
+
+urpme B C
+
+A would be orphan? Really?! Show me. I want an example!
+&gt;<i> The auto-orphans option and how it currently works is based on the assumption that if
+</I>&gt;<i> package A is installed as a requirement of package B, that on uninstalling B, one will
+</I>&gt;<i> want to uninstall A. That to me is a false premise.
+</I>You do get the point of orphans?! System has no AI. It only knows what it has to know. If
+you still want A you would just run urpmi A and urpme --auto-orphans won't remove it! Simple
+as that.
