Well, with --nodeps you already allow rpm to remove a package without knowing which other packages it might affect. I tried it with yum(8) instead, after resolving a huge list of dependencies possibly involving _every_ installed package it could find, including libc.so.6 & systemd, finally yum refused to remove it. That is smart. === [~ @ 23:30]# yum remove nss-softokn-freebl ... --> Running transaction check ---> Package foomatic-db.noarch 0:4.0-38.20130604.fc19 will be erased ---> Package icc-profiles-basiccolor-printing2009.noarch 0:1.2.0-3.fc19 will be erased ---> Package kernel-modules-extra.x86_64 0:3.11.3-201.fc19 will be erased --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Trying to remove "systemd", which is protected Error: Trying to remove "yum", which is protected === Yum(8) already has some intelligence built into it to protect a naive user from possible disasters. Considering that, it is okay to let user remove other packages at will. --- Regards -Prasad http://feedmug.com -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
