I believe you can also just rpm -e "package name" which may give you better results since you can just get rid of one thing in the chain and not the whole chain.

Jesse and Sean have narrowed this down, but I think something else is going on too: I think Yum is essentially in a panic due to you wanting to remove Cyrus because it's the mail storage for Postfix, thus 'breaking email' which is needed for cron to report, etc. I have this same problem on Debian systems when I want to remove Cyrus. It's logical for a human to want to remove something before installing something else in it's place, but installer/de-installer systems that do dependencies don't deal with that well. So instead, try /installing/ the thing you /want/ in Cyrus's place. i.e. try installing dovecot, or courier, or whatever other mail storage back-end you want in Cyrus's place. Usually the tools will then ask "this will force me to remove: cyrus, are you sure?" if I remember correctly. Been a while since I ran a system with Yum though. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group ...
