   Yes, I understand that Xchat is not directly dependent on bluez; It is being a victim of associative dependency, something like

bluez <= gnome-bluetooth(libgnome-bluetooth-applet.so.0) <= gnome-shell <= libnotify.so.4 <= xchat


My original question was if this is due to a packaging error  or  if yum's dependency resolving algorithm is at fault. Because with remove_leaf_only=1, if you try to remove individual packages,

    # yum remove bluez,
    # yum remove gnome-bluetooth
    # yum remove pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

None of  them work. But if you try to remove all 3 together

    # yum remove gnome-bluetooh bluez pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

Yum prompts you to remove bluez  -> https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-October/190101.html
