Does Yum report somewhere what requires a particular package? I can uninstall that and yum can forget about sendmail! Does that mean my rpm database has some problem as it is not disclosing what requires sendmail? Or is it a problem with yum? Can I query yum or check yum logs/output...tried to go through it but was not able to find anything. Any pointers? B/Rgds & thanks for your help. Sanjay.
