The dependency may be on a file or a provides provided by cronie-anacron. If you look at the yum output, the first dependency added to the remove list is probably a good place to start.

I gave up trying to make anacron go away in any sensible fashion. I just use a big hammer to clobber all the files involved and put the real crontab back so things actually run when I want them to, not at some random inconvenient time anacron picks using the artificial intelligence algorithm it apparently has to maximize inconvenience :-). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
