	OK : On machine #1, Hbsk2, I get :

[root at Hbsk2 ~]# package-cleanup --orphans

	On the one that had the yum woes, #2, Hbsk (which #1 mostly 
replaces, and which is therefore Prime Backup) I get a similar result : 

[root at Hbsk ~]# package-cleanup --orphans
Setting up yum

	Very Dumb Question : Are these lists telling me what *has been* 
removed? Or what I *may wish to* remove, or ...? IOW, am I done??
