Description Jiang Yike 2011-03-05 11:30:48 CET 
Description of problem:

After the installation of x11-driver-video-nvidia-current (version: 270.30) and its dependencies, some packages are reported as orphan packages, including: pulseaudio, pulseaudio-esound-compat, lib64audiofile, lib64esound, rtkit. I am sure that pulseaudio is a necessary package because its uninstallation will cause the system to lose sound and audio mixer. Perhaps Mageia Alpha 1 has a bug and wrongly reports orphan packages. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Mageia Alpha 1 x86_64

x11-driver-video-nvidia-current 270.30

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install x11-driver-video-nvidia-current 270.30 and its dependencies;
2. A window will show some packages including pulseaudio are orphan.


Reproducible:

Sorry, I should correct the words. If pulseaudio is uninstalled, the system still has sound, but the default audio mixer will be lost. Is there any alternative for an audio mixer in gnome?
Comment 2 Jiang Yike 2011-03-08 23:35:25 CET 
It seems that the problem is solved with x11-driver-video-nvidia-current 270.30-2.mga1, because the system doesn't say that pulseaudio is an orphan package any longer after I installed pulseaudio again.
