$ rpm -q --whatrequires libass
no package requires libass

Hmm...  Looks like an RPM dependency configuration issue there.  Let's try
the hammer:

$  rpm --erase libass --test
error: Failed dependencies:
        libass.so.4()(64bit) is needed by (installed)
gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.22-2.fc16.1.x86_64

There you go.  Of course, The gstreamer-plugins also have dependencies and
so on, so it looks like you're stuck with libass.

You might want to try looking at the packages "rpmorphan" and "rpmreaper"
from Fedora Extras that are more visual tools for checking dependencies and
removing packages you don't want/need.
