So I'm pretty new to yum. Really, with most of my history in Slackware, I'm still pretty new to package management.
I have a new CentOS server on which I use yum to handle packages. I want to remove cyrus from the system, so: yum remove cyrus* It finds the nine cyrus-related packages and helpfully locates all of the now-unneeded dependencies. These include: gnupg, httpd (uhhh...), mutt, openldap, passwd (what?!?), php (thats not right...), php-devel, php-pear, postfix, spamassassin, sudo (ok seriously now... lets just remove init and be done with it!) --nodeps and -x do not work in this context. Although this isn't a live system just yet, I'd think this is something pretty basic that has to be done... How do I tell yum that these items are not a road to somewhere I no longer want to go, but rather are destinations in and of themselves? What kind of search terms should I tell google for this kind of thing?
