removing gimp make some X11 packages an orphans

Postby almusalimalmusalimah » Aug 4th, '11, 23:25

as you see at the subject

i do that and some of x11 packages become an orphans like

x11-keyboard

x11-mouse

so i was afraid to remove those but after that i decided to remove them

and now i still want to know if that step that i did it is wrong or right ?

by the way mageia has not any problem after that thing

You miss the most important information: How did you remove gimp? Something like urpme -a gimp?
Cauldron is not for the faint of heart!
Caution: Hot, bubbling magic inside. May explode or cook your kittens!
