I have tried to uninstall the obsolete packages. With SETUP:

   unselect "Hide obsolete packages"

   in "Category" view, click on "Default" of "_obsolete" until "Uninstall"
   appears

   next

But SETUP says that there are NOT obsolete packages that need obsolete:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Package: atk-runtime
	Required by: gail, libbonoboui2, libglade2, libgnomeui2,
                     libgnomeui2-doc, libgtkhtml2, libwnck1_18, pygtk2

   Package: clear
	Required by: tetex-bin

   Package: glib2-runtime
	Required by: atk, desktop-file-utils, libbonoboui2, libglade2,
                     libgnomeprint22, pygtk2

   Package: libxml2-python
	Required by: pylibxslt

   Package: pkgconfig
	Required by: perl-ExtUtils-PkgConfig
--------------------------------------------------------------------


So the question is: Why NOT obsolete packages need obsolete ?

Perhaps they are not so obsolete...


Cheers,

    Angelo.
