Description of problem: I have done a migration from 7.1 to 8 by replacing repositories and urpmi replacefiles auto-update. At the end of update, some packages are proposed to be suppressed by "urpme --auto-orphans". The problem is that all the packages Xfce 4.16 of Mageia8 that have just been installed by urpmi ARE in this list. If you execute urpme, it uninstalls Xfce! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 8 Xfce 4.16 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Thank you for the report. Good that you looked at the list proposed (which is recommended) to *not* do it. Have you only Xfce4, or other desktops as well? Please post the O/P of '$ rpm -qa | grep xfce | sort' to see exactly what you have; and the list proposed by '# urpme --auto-orphans' to compare. Do you have the log of the upgrade? If so, please attach it to this bug - if it is very big, please compress it with xz first. [@Aurélien: do you know where it is? I do not have an upgraded system to search for it. urpmi nor urpmi.files make no mention].
Summary: After migration to Mageia 8, urpme unistalls Xfce 4.16 just installed by urpmi. => After upgrade to Mageia 8, urpme wants to uninstall Xfce 4.16 just installed by urpmi.CC: sysadmin-bugs => lewyssmith, ouaurelien
It should be in the journal. Use either the tags --since and --until to delimit a period, or --list-boots to find which number boot is for the update and then -b <number> as option.

"Good that you looked at the list proposed (which is recommended) to *not* do it." Happy that Xfce is not Afce cause i would not have seen the pacakges at the end od of the list of orphans. I saw the Xfec packages but i DONE the urpme and suppress Xfce. But I have installed immediatly task-xfce. "Do you have the log of the upgrade?" Perhaps, but tell me wher i can find it.
Thanks to papoteur for the advice about the upgrade log. Yes: $ journalctl --list-boots will show the boot session (say n) that includes the upgrade. Then: $ journalctl -b n --no-hostname to check that you have the right journal; then: $ journalctl -b n --no-hostname > a_filename.txt then
[continued] $ xz a_filename.txt will give a_filename.txt.xz, which you can attach to this bug.
I can not access anymore this PC, the person it belongs to has gone. I will have to verify on another one.
Leaving this on hold, then. I myself have done a large upgrade which included Xfce (plus all other desktops), without this - indeed any - problem. The next time you try this and report back, please say whether the system being upgraded has only Xfce, or other desktops as well.
Status: NEW => UNCONFIRMEDSeverity: critical => majorEver confirmed: 1 => 0
I did the same upgrade from 7 to 8 by change of repositories on another PC with Xfce only. At the end, there were no packages Xfce in the list of orphans. This bug can be closed.
