         Component: yum-langpacks

Description of problem:
After installing and removing the empathy package on my KDE-only system,
various dependencies are left around.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.31-4.fc17

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install and enable yum-plugin-remove-with-leaves
2. install e. g. empathy on your system
3. remove it again using "yum remove --with-leaves empathy"

Actual results:
Various packages that were installed by yum to satisfy empathy's dependencies
are left around. In my case, these were json-glib, libsocialweb,
libsocialweb-keys, rest.

Expected results:
All dependencies that were installed because of empathy should be removed
again.

Additional info:
I filed this bug against yum because there's no component to chose for this yum
plugin.

Yum installed the following 36 packages as dependencies when I installed
empathy. Except for the 4 packages mentioned earlier, they were all removed
again.

--- Comment #1 from James Antill  ---
 Don't use that plugin, use the clean_requirements_on_remove configuration in
yum ... however even that can't guarantee perfection.
