they need.

</I>Maybe at mdk9.1 it had problems. Tho' i'm not sure if urpmi even had that option at that
time. For me orphans are always worked. There is one thing that can cause problems - task
(meta) packages. For example if you remove task-kde4 then yes, you get a lot of kde packages
that are marked as orphans as task-kde4 pulled them in and is now uninstalled. But if some
package has requires on other package then this other package isn't marked as orphan.
