I guess that means plain remove is also "utterly broken by design"? Wait ... don't answer here ... if you want to troll/rant, feel free to send me personal email where I'll happily ignore it. Subjects like "yum should be faster than rpm" or "why don't we just move to apt/smart/pacman/image-packaging-system" are probably your best bang for the buck. -- James Antill - james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "... so the consumable rawhide is likely not to get as many updates as its users would like to have." -- Kevin Kofler -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
