Greetings everyone. We had two systems in our lab where we had multipathd installed. In order to verify our documentation, I am trying to uninstall the packages. When I type: yum erase multipath-tools device-mapper-multipath device-mapper Instead of being allowed to uninstall only those packages, I get the following: *****START SNIP***** ---> Package

doesn't make sense.
