I have a problem, if you have a solution.. please help...

Problem 1 :       Uninstalling the Non-RPM  Or  the Non-YUM packages
(Like Tarballs) from any rpm based OS

I am eagerly seeking solution to this problem and i know that the
solution to this problem exists but its like a trivial question that
has never being asked by anyone around me....

its straight :

For rpm :       rpm -e xyz   (Removes)
For Yum :      yum remove xyz  (Removes)

But if the package was lets say not installed by any of these medium..
lets say it came from a tar ball , then what ?
And also...

It might happen that the package entry gets deleted from the rpm
database ? (RPM has a database for all this..)


Problem 2 :       Uninstalling apps removes the dependencies. why ?

I tried to remove the a basic unnecessary app found in the menu in
fedora.. it went away with nautilus.  why ?
You would have seen that apps uninstall with there dependencies (many
of those if not all) but why ?
And then what is the work around for this ???


I will be glad if you can help me in this...???
