There is a serious problem with both of these programs when it comes
to deletion.
I inadvertently installed a few programs that should not have been, so with Yumex I
selected them for deletion.
I received the confirmation, and then yum went through the complete tree, deleting every
file in the branchs. The end
result that yumex yum, rpm and many many many more files were expunged.
I looked at the situation, since F10beta is not F10, and noone has reported this problem,
this is a real issue that needs
some attention.
In a delete mode, a where-used should be done to limit deletion to independent
dependencies.
Could you provide a yum.log file from the system and the things you were
removing?
Thanks,
