Quoting Randy <toucan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2005 19:04:49 > I hope it's gone in FC4. It probably won't be gone in FC4, however I hope that it will be possible to deinstall it. In FC3, there is so much stuff that directly or indirectly depends on howl package, that it should really be considered as bug (and filed on bugzilla). I've just run "yum remove howl" on my newly installed laptop, and among other things that would need to be removed to satisfy dependencies are gnome-panel, openoffice, firefox, thunderbird, gimp, and list is still growing... It's almost impossible to cleanly remove from desktop system (without forcing, and braking dependencies). Most of those packages are probably tied to the fact that gnome-vfs2 depends on howl-libs (a dependency that I hope will be removed in updated gnome-vfs2 package for FC3, and not present in FC4 at all). -- Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic@xxxxxx> Pollard Banknote Limited Systems Administrator 1499 Buffalo Place Tel: (204) 474-2323 ext 276 Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L7
