You'd have to --nodeps it, and then have an inconsistent rpmdb. Or you'd do both. You'd remove only the group metapackage, and the individual package you wish to rid yourself of. Then you wouldn't have broken deps, but you also wouldn't gain any "group" advantages for that group in the future. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
