I'm comparing two messengers:
One, with 'minimum code', which relies on the user to decide whether the
dependency list to be removed contains elements which are actively used
by other packages.
A second, (debian's package manager), which maintains a reference count
so it does not remove elements which are still in use by other packages.
Which would you like to unleash on the world?
So when yum prints:
"Removing for dependencies:"
and then lists out all the pkgs that will be removed as a result of the
command you just typed in, you don't read it? You don't check that list?
So debian's package manager will most certainly remove a pkg and all pkgs
which depend on it and all pkgs which depend on it.
I think what you've experienced is a difference in the dependencies
themselves, not a difference in the depsolvers.
