This is a problem if one wishes to keep an older known working
kernel around with hardware/software that requires
kernel-nrjQL-desktop-devel like nvidia drivers.
My misunderstanding is that a package "installed-through-deps"
Should be put on the --auto-orphans list when nothing depends on
it. If you install a new kernel, nothing should depend on the
old one.
If you want to keep the old one, you want it on the "manually
installed" list. Simply use rpm -qa |grep packagename to get the
package name correct and urpmi packagename. The package is
already installed so it will not be installed again, but it will
be marked as "manually installed."
