So > all removes are equal. All removes are equal, yes. Think about it like a filesystem 'rm' command. Should the rm command fail to work b/c someone still has the file open read-only? Should it fail to work if you recently modified the file? I bet I could find a number of people who would say yes to both of the above. That doesn't mean I think it is right, though. I personally think implementing do-what-I-mean functionality is dangerous, especially so in a package manager. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
