You need to erase them yourself (or roll your own packages for software that still exists upstream). There is no global garbage collector meta package in Fedora, which would remove such packages. But there are tools like "package-cleanup" from yum-utils, which you can use to find --orphans, or "yum list extras". > - selecting of test-updates is not flawless, there are some package > dependency issues I think, e.g. in gcc and perl-ExtsUtils-MakeMaker, so i > suggest don't use Bad idea. Ignoring updates-testing bears a risk that an update is declared stable, because nobody is aware of the dependency issues (and the automated check run by AutoQA is both easy to ignore and not reports false positives, too). Figure out the reason for the issues and report that in bugzilla or directly in the Fedora Updates System "bodhi". http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
