You've come up with that idea. ;) Parts of this thread claimed that a minimal install was missing "which", and all I added was the repoquery to show that only 21 packages depend on it. And only 1 out of 21 depend on /usr/bin/which. Package "which" is in the base comps group as well as the minimal buildroot, but based on dependencies, it seems possible to remove it: # rpm -e which error: Failed dependencies: which is needed by (installed) gstreamer-tools-0.10.34-1.fc15.x86_64 which is needed by (installed) vim-enhanced-2:7.3.138-1.fc15.x86_64 which is needed by (installed) fuse-2.8.5-5.fc15.x86_64 which is needed by (installed) xdg-utils-1.1.0-0.8.20110510.fc15.noarch -- 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
