           Summary: Cyclic dependencies: erlang and erlang-examples
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 19
         Component: erlang

Description of problem:
It is impossible to remove erlang package with /usr/bin/rpm command with
erlang-examples and vice versa. There are cyclic dependencies among these two
packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
erlang-R16B-02.3.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to remove erlang
$ /usr/bin/rpm -e erlang
returns:
error: Failed dependencies:
erlang(x86-64) = R16B-02.3.fc19 is needed by (installed)
erlang-examples-R16B-02.3.fc19.x86_64

2. try to remove erlang-examples
$ /usr/bin/rpm -e erlang-examples
returns:
error: Failed dependencies:
erlang-examples(x86-64) = R16B-02.3.fc19 is needed by (installed)
erlang-R16B-02.3.fc19.x86_64

3. try to remove erlang
...

Actual results:
can't remove erlang without erlang-examples and vice versa

Expected results:
One of packages is possible to remove without any dependencies.

Additional info:
It's because of puppet, which removes packages through rpm command. There is no
problem with removing through yum.
