[opensuse-factory] Orphaned packages

Hello all I installed openSUSE-13.2-DVD-Build0011-i586.iso tonight on a old HP laptop and things appear fine except for the fact that there appears to be a lot of orphaned packages... Can anyone else confirm this? # uname -a Linux nc6120.13.2 3.11.6-4-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 30 18:04:56 UTC 2013 (e6d4a27) i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # cat /proc/version Linux version 3.11.10-21-desktop (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.8.1 20130909 [gcc-4_8-branch revision 202388] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 21 15:28:46 UTC 2014 (9a9565d) Checking for orphaned packages... nc6120: # zypper packages --orphaned | wc -l 1476 The same version of the x_86-64 DVD installation (i.e. openSUSE-13.2-DVD-Build0011-x86_64.iso) had only 9 orphaned packages (different computer but same conditions). Regards James BTW, many thanks for maintaining an i586 version ! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Excuse me stupid, but what exactly constitutes an "orphaned" package? A package that is not from any configured repository or something?

Hello Thank you for the comebacks.
