Around 12:04am on Sunday, June 17, 2007 (UK time), Timothy Murphy scrawled:
You misunderstood me (I think)
As far as I can see, "yum remove foo" removes foo,
and also everything that foo depends on.
Then it removes everything that depends on the things already removed.
And so ad infinitum.
I would have thought it would be more logical
to leave anything required by another package.
Of course anything that requires foo should be removed.
But that is a different matter.
Apologies - I didn't read your email carefully enough. I agree it
shouldn't be doing that.
