Unless you can give us specific details as to what you exactly did to
start the uninstall of packages.. there isn't much to discuss as to
whether or not there is a "problem" that needs to be fixed.

That's why I asked tatxe, because neither my command history nor
/var/log/yum.log list the package as being removed. But with weird stuff
on fedora-test/devel, I assumed that it wasn't my fault, until some days
later (at which point I don't remember what I did exactly nor even how).
from rpmpkgs.1: @2006-02-11
gnome-session-2.12.0-5.i386.rpm
from rpmpkgs: @2006-02-21
gnome-session-2.13.91-1.i386.rpm
In yum.log:
Feb 12 10:35:42 Installed: gftp.i386 1:2.0.18-3.2
.. no match for gnome-session between above and below
Feb 20 22:19:34 Updated: gnome-session.i386 2.13.91-1
Note: last night feb20, I worked out what was going on
(gnome-session...rpm not listed in rpm -qa|grep session|sort, but was on
another machine.
In pup.log:
no mention of it; it's almost useless since there is no date/time and
seems limited in size :(
I was getting normal desktop (gnome/nautilus) during the week, stopped
working after a reboot on Sunday after pup updates. (machine is off
overnight most days).
yum remove evolution for me does not attempt to remove gnome-session
Perhaps I unselected any evolution* named items within pup, or maybe I
did a yum remove evolution*, I just don't remember. Any hints at finding
/ getting at the info regarding this stored on my disk ?
similarly on my system yum remove pirut(the package that includes pup)
causes no obviously egregious removals that would cause
gnome-session to be uninstalled.
So unless you can give us a specific set of actions which cause the
removal of gnome-session, there really isn't much to discussion. The
packages you present as potential problems can be removed from my
system without a problem.
Funny however, how at least two people managed to achieve the same thing :-)
