Well, as it is a wiki, and if you think it should be documented in there for easier access, feel free to add a page for it, stickingto the naming conventions:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Wiki_and_Doc ... age_namingFor the orphans:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Removing_packagesAnd i've made the partitioning issue now a sticky thread. But that does not change the fact that it would have come up within search results, so i partly fail to see your point there. If you would have looked for partititioning issues before the problem occured, you would have found it.

Yes, this is the official international Mageia forum. For what it's worth, there's also an official german one:
https://forums.mageia.org/deMageia consists of volunteers, and all support is done by volunteers. If you received no answer, then the cause is most likely
to be lack of time, or that nobody knows the answer to your problem, or that there are not that much users with that particular problem around
(or e17 users in general) I fail to see how a missing answer directly translates to disrespect. Be patient, someone may answer. If that is not the case,
feel free to also ask in IRC or via the mailing lists, as that can reach another circle of users.
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/IRChttps://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_subsc ... ling_listsAlso, there was an answer in your thread
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4268I don't know what's your problem with that. The e17 packages for Mageia 2 have always been called e-0.16.999.xxx
and it will probably not receive a major upgrade. As per your first post there you're trying Mageia 2, but seem
to want to upgrade to cauldron e17 packages, that is likely to fail ...
