<PRE>2012/1/6 Robert Fox <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">list at foxconsult.net</A>>:
><i> After latest Cauldron updates, I got a real long list of suggested
</I>><i> "orphans" - but I believe some of these packages are needed (like hal or
</I>><i> basesystem-minimal) -
</I>><i>
</I>><i> How do I clear out the orphans - like reset the logic behind it so the
</I>><i> correct packages will be orphaned?  Or is a fresh install in order??
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> The following packages:
</I>><i>  aisleriot-3.3.1-1.mga2.x86_64
</I>><i>  alacarte-0.13.2-3.mga1.noarch
</I>><i>  alsa-plugins-doc-1.0.24-5.mga2.noarch
</I>><i> ....
</I>
This is a well known issue.
To clear out the list you need a deep knowledge of the system to
determine which packages are really not needed anymore.
Lately this --auto-orphans line shreddered my whole system on a fresh
install after the first update, several system services could not
start at next reboot, applications did not run, etc. One of the very
few times I had to re-install because of a bug. Call me newbie or
pussy but until this is not a secure function I will never touch it
again.
