Description of problem: After upgrade from 5.5.0 to 5.6.0 few packages are left orphaned (i.e. they were installed as part of Satellite 5.5.0, but are not present (or their updates) in 5.6.0 channels). This shows these packages are: 1. not required in 5.6.0 installation 2. we lost track about them so potential security fix do not get into 5.6.0 installation Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhn-upgrade-5.6.0.42-1.el*sat How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade Satellite 5.5.0 to 5.6.0 2. Make sure you have 5.6.0 channel and not 5.5.0 3.
