I was rather surprised to find a routine "yum update" on my F14 system suddenly wanting to pull in a lot of mysql stuff that I'd not had installed at the moment. Investigation showed that if I try to remove MySQL-python again, yum wants to take all this stuff with it: Removing: MySQL-python x86_64 1.2.3-1.fc14 @updates 228 k Removing for dependencies: TurboGears noarch 1.0.9-8.fc14 @updates 7.6 M bodhi-client noarch 0.8.0-1.fc14 @updates 25 k fedora-easy-karma noarch 0-0.15.20110825git36efb338.fc14 @updates 75 k fedora-packager noarch 0.5.9.2-2.fc14 @updates 72 k fedpkg noarch 0.5.9.2-2.fc14 @updates 248 k python-fedora noarch 0.3.25.1-1.fc14.1 @updates 1.7 M python-sqlobject noarch 0.10.2-6.fc14 @fedora 1.6 M Needless to say, that would put rather a crimp in my ability to do any Fedora packaging work on this machine. AFAIK, there is no legitimate reason for fedpkg or fedora-packager to need to talk to a mysql database, so I'd really like to see this dependency go away again. I have routine occasion to shuffle mysql packages in and out, and I don't want entirely-unnecessary dependencies getting in the way. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
