I was talking about in the same package. For example, MRTG installs in /usr/bin/mrtg, and then needs private perl modules. If you simply remove the private directories, you'll end up with broken dependencies because /usr/bin/mrtg needs modules that are not provided anywhere. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
