Around 11:11pm on Saturday, June 16, 2007 (UK time), Timothy Murphy scrawled:
Why does "yum remove foo" try to remove every package
using anything required by foo?
Surely the rational strategy would be to leave anything
required by another package?
No. You asked it to remove foo. It is rational that it does as you
requested. It would be irrational to:
- not do as you asked, or
- leave behind broken packages because it removed foo
