><i> It is not exactly the same thing, but in more than one occasion when I installed packages
</I>><i> with similar functions at the same time, to compare them, say A, B, and C, and later
</I>><i> uninstalled B and C, I have found A to be declared an orphan. Only to find that it had
</I>><i> been required by one of the others.
</I>><i> (I often prefer command-line packages. It is simple to add them to the menu if I want.
</I>><i> And I have often enough made such comparisons. To be fair, I haven't done much of that
</I>><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!
><i> The auto-orphans option and how it currently works is based on the assumption that if
</I>><i> package A is installed as a requirement of package B, that on uninstalling B, one will
</I>><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.
