Mageia forum

Hi,

I have updated from Mageia 8 to Mageia 9. I've noticed that many packages from Mageia 7 and Mageia 8 are still installed and not orphanized. For example, lib64kritaimage have three packages:

lib64kritaimage18-5.1.5-2.mga9
lib64kritaimage17-4.1.8-8.mga7
lib64kritaimage20-4.4.2-1.mga8

Are there a reason for this to happen? Should I remove the old version packages?

Thanks

Most probably safe to uninstall.
If something is dependent on it, it should tell then.
And if you for some strange reason need to reinstall them the old repos are available.

To list packages from previous release you can i.e use

Code: Select all

$ rpm -qa | grep mga8 | sort
