It will print out what it would end up doing if it was removed. for example: # python remove-recurse.py easytag remove easytag removing id3lib-3.8.3-20.fc9.i386 b/c it is not required by anything else removing libmp4v2-1.5.0.1-6.fc9.i386 b/c it is not required by anything else libmp4v2.i386 0-1.5.0.1-6.fc9 - e id3lib.i386 0-3.8.3-20.fc9 - e easytag.i386 0-2.1-5.fc9 - e It doesn't actually change anything, just prints out what would happen. then tell me which (and I'm sure there are many) cases it doesn't properly address. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
