I recall some time ago, perhaps FC8 or 9, that trying to remove wireless-tools would threaten to remove nearly every package on the system, including the kernel. Was that because yum was broken? It was certainly threatening to remove something that it shouldn't. Now, I'm not saying that the plugin isn't broken. Maybe it is. But I find it very useful. And so far I've only been told that I should toss it because of some incidence with this symptom. So far I'm not convinced that some package meta-data isn't behind the scenes causing the problem indirectly. That's all I'm saying. I did early on ask if what I was seeing was a bug. I was hoping someone would help me pinpoint the source so that maybe a bugzilla could be filed against the appropriate package if it was a bug. Apparently, that's all wrong-headed -- I should simply uninstall any component related to a problem on my system. I wonder how much of my Linux system will survive this policy? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
