I believe it was a 5.x Centos, and yum decided to delete a ton of packages. The system became unbootable, and I had to do a lot of manual yum installs including IIRC yum itself, to restore it. I didn't even file yum bugs because that system has a rich history and a lot of odd software installed so I chalked it to 'self-inflicted', but: I learned to be very careful reading the lists of packages suggested for deletion
well, luckily we have now /etc/dnf/protected.d/dnf.conf containing "dnf" to prevent the combination of bugs and mistakes doing that sort of damage - i remember well summer 2014 how hard i was defended to demand get that back since yum had it for years
the same for uninstall the running kernel
