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.
No, it's really just the sasl thing. RHEL and CENTOS are much more
tollerant of just running a local mail subsystem. /var/spool/mail is
provided by the filesystem package, and sendmail is installed by default
to put stuff in there.
The crux of the dep chain can be seen here:
> rpm -q --whatrequires "libsasl2.so.2()(64bit)"
mozldap-6.0.5-1.el5
python-ldap-2.2.0-2.1
mutt-1.4.2.2-3.0.2.el5
evolution-data-server-1.12.3-18.el5
cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.22-5.el5_4.3
openldap-2.3.43-12.el5
cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-5.el5_4.3
autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.143.el5
cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.22-5.el5_4.3
sendmail-8.13.8-8.el5
Pulling openldap and evolution-data-server starts tearing out large
parts of the login system and gui system respectively, that's where the
rest of it starts to fall apart.
