Well urpme is not at fault. It's doing exactly what it's told.
It cant solve packager errors. If a packager has forgot a "Requires",
urpmi does not know that.
The only things --auto-orphans has to go on is:
1. is the package on the "keep list" such as basesystem -> dont remove.
2. is the package required by some other package -> dont remove.
3. is the package manually installed with urpmi/rpmdrake -> dont remove.
4. is the package the current running kernel -> dont remove.
So, if you find your system would be broken (or got broken) by running
urpme --auto-orphans (or the same function in rpmdrake), and you want
it fixed, file bug reports.
And not against urpmi/rpmdrake, but the package that stopped working.
