Before you manually remove any of the packages listed run "yum upgrade" again. "package-cleanup --orphans" is really a dumb utility. It only tells you that the package is no longer in a active repository. The listed package(s) may have been obsoleted due to a pending update. Packages listed may also include those you installed from outside of the repository system, e.g. Opera, Adobe Flashplayer or other third party rpm package. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
