package-cleanup --orphans ??

[Justin Conover]

--orphans List installed packages which are not available from
currenly configured repositories.


Are these packages that should be removed or what is the deal with this
option? --problems gives me no errors but I was curious what the point of
orphans is and what you should do with the info?

These are my orphans (that sounds weird)

firefox-1.0.4-4.x86_64
pwlib-1.8.4-1.x86_64
firefox-1.0.7-1.1.fc4.x86_64
system-config-mouse-1.2.11-1.noarch
dhcdbd-1.9-1.FC4.x86_64
gdb-6.3.0.0-1.21.x86_64
setarch-1.8-1.FC4.x86_64
rhythmbox-0.8.8-2.2.fc4.rf.x86_64
perl-XML-Encoding-1.01-27.noarch
comps-4-0.20050606.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.14-1.1665_FC5.x86_64
termcap-5.4-4.noarch
pwlib-1.8.7-1.FC4.x86_64
termcap-5.4-7fc4.noarch
perl-Parse-Yapp-1.05-33.noarch
RealPlayer-10.0.6.776-20050915.i586
kernel-2.6.14-1.1665_FC5.x86_64
tar-1.15.1-11.FC4.x86_64
kernel-2.6.14jlc-1.x86_64
hal-0.5.2-2.i386
gdb-6.3.0.0-1.84.x86_64


Some of those I can see why it reports that, some of them I'm not sure
about.

Thanks
