"yum remove ..." is not the opposite of "yum install ...". If you ask Yum to remove a library package, it will remove all other packages which depend on that library. You should have been more careful. Reinstalling packages is overrated anyway. There are too many users who reinstall packages without it being necessary. You will need to boot a rescue disc and restore at least the "rpm" package or its files before you could install packages again. [Btw, are you sure about the above command? If your machine really is x86_64, I don't see how that command would remove "yum" and "rpm" as dependencies of the packages you specified.] -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
