How does yum/rpm know what functionality yelp provides to these packages? Do we then have to list in the Requires (and auto requires?!) what each required package does for a given package? Even if the user saw that this would remove yelp from all the packages, and he said yes anyway, how does that get yelp back for them in your firefox-32 scenario? -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
