</I>&gt;<i> The only problems I can remember are:
</I>&gt;<i> - people wanted to remove some things required by task-kde, which
</I>&gt;<i> implied removing task-kde, and then all of kde was orphan. I think

</I>I recently installed Okular then i removed xpdf and then used 
auto-orphans : I immedialtely lost any possibility to use wifi...
