Hello. I launched setup with the --delete-orphans option. Next the graphical chooser still show a package into the "obsolete" category after I unselected the "hide obsolete" check-box. This package was not marked for removal. Therefore it seems that "--delete-orphans" option doesn't handle the same packages than the "obsolete" category. Are "orphans" and "obsolete" 2 different things ? Le 07/10/2017 à 09:50, Ken Brown a écrit :
If a package is orphaned, then setup has no information about what category it was in when it was installed.Then maybe would it be more intuitive to select "orphaned" into the view/filter selector (top of the graphical chooser)Orphaned packages are not important enough for that.instead of creating a virtual category which isn't actually a category ?The category view is supposed to list all packages, arranged by category. There has to be some place in that view to list the packages with unknown category.
