Now, yum has just reinstalled NetworkManager because new dependencies dragged it in. When I remove it, all this new junk goes with it:
Removed: NetworkManager.x86_64 1:0.9.4.0-9.git20120521.fc17
Dependency Removed: NetworkManager-gnome.x86_64 1:0.9.4.0-9.git20120521.fc17 control-center.x86_64 1:3.4.2-4.fc17 gnome-bluetooth.x86_64 1:3.4.2-1.fc17 gnome-shell.x86_64 0:3.4.1-6.fc17 orca.x86_64 0:3.4.2-1.fc17
Most of those things didn't depend on NM previously, why do they depend on it now?
Do they, though? If you re-install them, individually, do they dredge in NetworkManager at the same time?
