No, it doesn't. What Han is asking for is this. Say you installed foo
and urpmi pulled in libbar and libmoo as things foo depended on. If you
then urpme foo, libbar and libmoo don't get uninstalled. If, however,
you urpme'd libbar, foo *would* be uninstalled. That is, urpme
uninstalls things that depend on the package you call to be urpme'd, but
not things the package you call to be urpme'd depends upon. Clear?
Probably not. Remind me not to become a teacher. :)
