Description Sander Lepik 2012-03-25 17:40:29 CEST

Description of problem:


# uname -r
3.3.0-desktop-0.rc6.1.mga2

# LC_ALL=C urpme --auto-orphans
writing /var/lib/rpm/installed-through-deps.list
To satisfy dependencies, the following 35 packages will be removed (91MB):
  
(orphan packages)
  ...
  kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.0-0.rc6.1.mga2-1-1.mga2.x86_64
  ...
  nvidia-current-kernel-3.3.0-desktop-0.rc6.1.mga2-295.20-1.mga2.nonfree.x86_64
  ...
  ...

I don't think these packages should be marked as orphans before it's confirmed that new kernel works (e.g. new kernel is booted up and running). It doesn't mark running kernel as orphan so it should not mark its devel and modules as orphans either. What if user removes nvidia's module and new kernel won't boot? Nvidia is just an example, network modules are probably more serious problem.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja
