That often happens when people aren't paying attention. I remember doing yum remove -y wireless tools, coming back and finding kopete, along with a bunch of other KDE based apps gone. :) (I was new to Fedora at that time and hadn't realized how many seemingly unrelated things a yum remove might take with it.) As for yumex I just gave it a try as well. It also asks for confirmation. So, unless something quite unusual happened, my guess is that you weren't hit by a yum or yumex bug, you were just hit by some of the dependency tie-ins, which can often be surprising. :) I do sympathize, having experienced the same thing, and often don't understand why package A is tied to package B, but I don't think it was a bug in this case, unless you can be absolutely sure that it didn't ask for confirmation--a separate window opening, saying it's going to do this, that, and the other, and asking for an OK or cancel. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Spike (watching, from a distance, a conversation between Angel and a woman he just rescued):How can I thank you, you mysterious black-clad-hunk-of-a-knight-thing? No need little lady. Your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You see, I was once a bad-ass vampire. But love, and a pesky curse, defanged me. And now, I'm just a *big* fluffy puppy with bad teeth. No! Not the hair! Never the hair. But there must be some way I can show my appreciation. No, helping those in need's my job. And working up a load of sexual tension and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough. I understand. I have a nephew who's gay, so... Say no more. Evil's still afoot.
